Camp St escapees believed to still be in the country

Seven weeks after they stormed out of the Camp Street Prison during a carefully planned escape, high profile prisoners Mark Royden Williams and Uree Varswyk are still on the loose and though little has been released about their possible whereabouts, law enforcement officials are adamant that they are still in Guyana.

Given their backgrounds as well as the amount of time that has elapsed, some observers have concluded that the men might have managed to flee through the porous border with Suriname, and could possibly still be there or in French Guiana.

However, a senior security official told Sunday Stabroek that the security forces are “certain” the men are still in Guyana but did not want to elaborate. If they are still here, it would raise questions about their intentions and why they haven’t yet been recaptured.
