An escaped inmate charged with two murders and suspected of others surrendered to police at his home Monday night after three days on the run, a state police spokesman said.

Hugo Selenski, who escaped Friday night from the Luzerne County prison by climbing down a 60-foot rope of knotted bedsheets, was taken into custody at 8:45 p.m. after his attorney called to arrange the surrender, said state Trooper Tom Kelly, state police spokesman.

Police went to Selenski's home earlier in the evening but were refused entry by his girlfriend, according to Kelly. About 45 minutes later, Selenski's attorney called, Kelly said.

Selenski and cellmate Scott Bolton climbed down a rope assembled from 12 prison-issue sheets. Bolton fell and was captured on a rooftop, critically injured.

Selenski is charged with killing two people whose remains were exhumed from the yard of his home. He also is a suspect in the deaths of three others whose bodies were also recovered from his property.
