Prisoner switches places with twin, recaptured

LONDON:

A prisoner who mounted an extraordinary escape from a Peruvian jail by swapping places with his visiting twin brother has been recaptured. The arrest of Alexander Jheferson Delgado Herrera marks the end of more than a year on the run from authorities. He had been serving a 16-year sentence when his twin brother Giancarlo visited in January last year. Alexander allegedly drugged Giancarlo and changed into his clothes before walking out of the prison, the BBC reported . GNS
