Six inmates who were brought to the Baddegama Magistrate’s Court yesterday escaped from the custody of prison officers.
The detainees had been brought to the Magistrate’s Court with a large number of other remane inmates reportedly numbering over 30.
Some unofficial reports revealed that the prisoners had tricked the prison officers when they were trying to rush a prisoner who claimed to have had a heart problem at the court.
Taking advantage of the situation at the time, six prisoners had got away from the custody of the prison officers.
Four of the escaped detainees were identified as residents of the Baddegama Police Division while the other two from the Wanduraba Police Division..
A special operation has been initiated by the Police and Prison officers to arrest the absconding prisoners.
