Two foreign inmates who escaped Bali’s Kerobokan prison captured in East Timor
An Australian - who was going to be freed within months - and a Malaysian inmate are still on the run
Two foreign inmates who tunnelled their way out of a Bali prison have been captured in East Timor, police said Friday, in the latest prison break case in Indonesia.
Bulgarian Dimitar Nikolov Iliev and Indian Sayed Mohammed Said were caught at a hotel in Dili Thursday morning after arriving on a boat illegally from Indonesia.
The pair were originally caught for entering East Timor without legal documents, said East Timor senior police official Henrique da Costa, but police later concluded the pair were two of the four Bali fugitives.
“We will most likely hand them back to the Indonesia Friday afternoon now that we know they are fugitives,” da Costa said.
