Khartoum security officers recaptured one of four men who escaped from prison after being sentenced to death for the murder of a U.S. aid official and his driver.
Akhbar al-Yawm newspaper said the National Intelligence and Security Service captured escapee Abdel Raouf Abu Zaid Mohamed Hamzah, one of four men on the death row over the murder of USAID official John Granville and his Sudanese driver Abdelrahman Abbas in 2008.
The paper added that the fugitive was captured in Khartoum state but gave no details of the arrest.
The police said the four murderers escaped through sewerage pipes in Khartoum’s Kober prison earlier this month and shot dead a police officer as they fled past a checkpoint outside the city.
