A TOTAL of 50 prisoners escaped from a jail in Mozambique’s southern Inhambane province but more than half of them have been recaptured, the state-run Noticias newspaper reported on Tuesday. The paper said at least 29 of the fugitives were recaptured by police. The inmates reportedly fled on Sunday when a guard opened one of the cells to let out one of them who served as their cook. The guard, Rafael Almeida, told Noticias that the prisoners overpowered him and ran in different directions. – AFP
