A man serving seven year jail term for rape in the Migori GK Prison has escaped.Boniface Maneno, 26, disappeared under unclear circumstances.
He was working with other inmates outside a building in the prison on Tuesday evening, said Corporal Jared Ogeto, who reported the incident.
He began a seven-year jail sentence on October 6 after a Migori court found him guilty of raping a woman.
The incident was under investigation, Migori County Police Commander Mark Wanjala told the Nation.
“He has not been found up to now but we are working around the clock to trace him,” he said by phone.
Four years ago, a convict serving time for robbery with violence escaped from the same prison. He slipped through a fence and disappeared into adjacent thickets.
