Paul Goriah

More than two years after he was recaptured in neighbouring Suriname, prison escapee Paul Goriah was on Thursday handed over to local law enforcement authorities.

Goriah was among thirteen prisoners who escaped from the Lusignan Prison in July 2017.

He was captured back in June, 2020 by Surinamese authorities. He was a suspect in an attempted robbery in Suriname.
