A prison escapee was arrested in Mount Frere on Wednesday morning, the Correctional Services Department said.

Police were tipped off and he was apprehended at 8:15am, spokeswoman Zama Feni said in a statement.

Lusuko Tataba was serving a 34-year sentence for rape. The 27-year-old escaped last week.

Police on Wednesday also arrested a correctional centre official who is believed to have helped Tataba escape.

“The official is alleged to have escorted the offender out of the gate of the facility,” said Feni.

“The court appearance dates for both of them have not been determined yet.” – Sapa
