Leroy Graham, the inmate who escaped from the Lusignan Prison during the early hours of Wednesday morning, has been recaptured.
The Guyana Police Force said its ranks, acting on information, proceeded to a shack around 7.15 pm last evening and found Graham. The escapee, who was alone, was arrested and taken to the Vigilance Police Station and later handed over to the Guyana Prison Service.
Graham, of Middle Walk, Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD), made good his escape at approximately 1.30 am on Wednesday by scaling the southern fence of the prison.
According to Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels, investigations revealed that Graham managed to escape after he broke out of a section of the burnt prison where he was being housed for safety purposes.
Graham was admitted to prison on August 20th, 2020, after he was charged with armed robbery.
