Kathron Fortune a.k.a “CUCHI” the prisoner who escaped on Monday afternoon is still on the run and police are still busy looking for the prisoner that is considered armed and dangerous.
In an invited comment Minister of Justice Edison Kirindongo told SMN News on Tuesday that the prisoner escaped while he was being escorted back to the vehicle to return to Pointe Blanche Prison. The Minister said that he held discussions with the head of the prison Edward Rohan who told him that the prisoner had already seen the doctor. Asked if the prisoner was shacked knowing his background or if he was walking freely, the Minister said a person with that type of criminal background had to be shackled when they are taken out of the prison. He said he could not say if the prison guards had the prisoner shacked at the time, but all of that are now being investigated as he instructed the Prosecutor’s Office to have the National Detectives investigate the case.
Also asked by SMN News if the prisoner had in his possession a loaded fire arm since residents of the area said they saw the prisoner firing shots at the prison guards while he was running away. Minister Kirindongo said when he asked the prison director if the prisoner had a fire arm, he was told that the prison guards told their boss that they did not see the prisoner with a firearm but shots were being fired at them. The Minister said based on the information gathered thus far it appeared as though the escape was well planned.
