Police rearrested a 36-year-old convict hiding in a locked flat after escaping from an Eastern Cape prison at the weekend.
The sentenced inmate Bonile Mgwili escaped from the Flagstaff correctional services facility on Sunday at about 8.30am.
He was captured the same day, police spokesperson Capt Welile Matyolo said. The OR Tambo district task team based in Lusikisiki was alerted that Mgwili, from the Wayside locality in Lusikisiki, had escaped while serving a 12-year sentence for murder at the Flagstaff correctional services facility.
