Double escape: Four prisoners diagnosed with coronavirus run away from isolation center

The inmates escaped on Wednesday night, July 8, 2020, after breaking the windows of a classroom at ASPEK secondary school.

Eastern Province Police Spokesperson, CIP Twizeyimana Hamdun, told IGIHE that four prisoners had escaped.

CIP Twizeyimana urged the public to avoid contact or hiding the culprits as they can spread coronavirus to others, asking anyone who sees someone whom they don’t know in their area or knew that he was imprisoned to provide information so that they can be immediately placed in a care facility.

He also said that the Police in collaboration with the local authorities in the District have embarked on searching for the escapees.
