Murder accused still on the run after fleeing from Lusignan jail

Wanted: Mark Rafino

Alex Mathias and Arnold Bruce Kennedy, two of the three prisoners who fled from the Lusignan Prison more than two weeks ago were earlier this week sentenced to three years imprisonment each after they admitted to escaping from lawful custody.

Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels yesterday told Stabroek News that the duo pleaded guilty to the charge which was read to them virtually.

The third prisoner, Mark Rafino remains on the run. Samuels said to date, a number of searches were carried out but Rafino has not been located.
