An American murder convict slipped out of the biggest jail in Greece disguised as a doctor and aided by the prison psychologist, police said recently. Wearing a wig, a suit and glasses, the 31-year-old man walked casually past officers at Athens' Korydallos jail late on May 27 where he was serving a life sentence for killing a girl. Police officials said the man had confessed to a murder in Greece because he wanted to avoid extradition to the United States where he is charged with double murder. The psychologist escorted the convict out of the jail, introducing him to officers as her colleague. Prison officials did not know of the escape until the evening headcount. Greek Justice Minister Filippos Petsalnikos suspended the prison warden Tuesday along with six officers for the latest in a series of embarrassing jailbreaks. Last month a group of convicts used a spoon to dig their way out of a police cell. |
