Residents of Cameron Dam, Canal Number One said that murder accused Desmond James was hiding in an unfinished wooden shack along the dam since Friday after he was taken into the area allegedly by a female resident. It is not known whether police are seeking this woman or have questioned her.
They said that while they noticed a strange individual occupying the shack, they had no idea it was one of the escapees from the Camp Street prison since he never gave them an opportunity to get a glimpse of his face.
James, one of the six inmates who escaped from the George-town Prison last Sunday, was apprehended by the police on Friday evening.
