Hours after he was arrested for brutally beating his ex-partner more than a month ago at Leonora, West Coast Demerara (WCD), Brian Hutchins escaped from police custody.

Stabroek News was reliably informed that the police acting on information received arrested Hutchins on Sunday morning at Stewartville, WCD.

However, while in custody, he reportedly managed to escape from the Leonora Police Station. Up to yesterday afternoon, Hutchins remained on the run.
