Fifteen inmates have escaped from a Ugandan prison after apparently using urine to weaken prison walls. The prisoners were being held at the Kigo prison, about 10 miles south of the capital, Kampala. They were being held on remand on charges including robbery, treason and murder. Police said they believed the inmates celebrated their escape by going on a robbery spree. Prison Service spokeswoman, Mary Kaddu, said: 'This prison is very, very old. The walls are very weak and the cells very small. 'These men must have used urine and water to weaken the spot where they escaped through. They must have coordinated their move ... they must have planned this for a very long time.' It's believed the escapees used spoons, electric bulb holders and metal bars to dig their way through the weakened wall while prison officers were asleep, reports the Worldonline website. |
