LUSIGNAN Prison escapee Sudesh Dyal was on Sunday morning recaptured at Tuschen Squatting Area, East Bank Essequibo, by a party of policemen led by Divisional Commander Senior Superintendent Edmond Cooper.

According to a release, the police acting on information swooped down on the area about 03:00hrs and apprehended the fugitive without any incident.

Last month, murder accused Travis Evans, age 23 of ‘C’ Field Sophia, Georgetown; Sudesh Dyal, 23, who was remanded for Break and Enter and Larceny and escaping lawful custody; and Dextroy Pollard, 29, of Wales Village for Break and Enter and Larceny, escaped from the Lusignan Prison.

Evans was later recaptured at Soesdyke, while Pollard earlier this month was apprehended at Free and Easy Village, West Bank Demerara by a civic-minded citizen.

Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels said at the time that the prison warders who were on duty have been placed under close arrest and it was likely that the police took the same action for its officers who were on duty.

Paul Goriah, who escaped from the Lusignan Prison and Cobena Stephens called “OJ,” who escaped from the Georgetown Prison during the destructive prison riot on July 9, 2017, are also on the run.
