St. Andrew – The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is confirming that the final detainee who had escaped from the Constant Spring Police lock-up in St. Andrew has turned himself in.
This means all nine escapees who had broken out of the facility on Tuesday morning are now back in police custody.
According to the Police High Command, a massive manhunt had been launched following the escape, with islandwide deployment of police resources to recapture the men. The detainees had reportedly cut their way through a metal grille and door to make their daring breakout.
In the immediate aftermath of the escape, 45-year-old David Rhoden of Malvern Avenue in Kingston was quickly recaptured.
The other eight men who were on the run included:
- Alonzo Espute, 19, of Cassava Piece, Kingston 8 – charged with murder
- Brandon Ennis, 27, of Belvedere, Red Hills – charged with possession of a prohibited weapon
- Talik Chambers, 23, of Burlington Avenue, Kingston 10 – charged with identity theft
- Donque Douglas, 25, of Upper Oxford Street, Kingston – charged with wounding with intent, shooting with intent, and malicious destruction of property
- Fray Mesias, 18, of Pinto, Stony Hill, St. Andrew – charged with rape
- Richard Bishop, 19, of Olympic Way, Kingston – charged with burglary and larceny
- Junior Anthony Barnes, 31, of Iron River, Golden Spring – charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised ammunition
- Kamal Kelly, 25, of Mannings Hill, Stony Hill, St. Andrew – charged with shooting with intent
The JCF had earlier appealed to members of the public to provide any information that could assist in the recapture of the escapees, while warning that harbouring criminals is a criminal offence.
The Police have since thanked the public for their assistance in the operation.
