March 06, 2006
CLARKS TOWN, Trelawny - Four more of the 15 prisoners who broke out of the Clarks Town police lock-up on February 26 are back behind bars after they surrendered to the Clarks Town police Saturday at about 8:00 pm.
This brings to eight the number of escapees back in custody.
The four who surrendered are:
. Kewezie Bell, 23;
. Gavin Reid, 24;
. Tommy Sawyers, 17; and
. Dwayne Thompson, 22.
Bell, Reid and Sawyers are awaiting trial for murder in the death of Detective Constable Clinton Degouthe, who was killed during a gun battle with criminals in Trelawny nearly one year ago.
All four were accompanied by a justice of the peace when they turned themselves in.
Meanwhile, the police are appealing to anyone with information on the whereabouts of the other seven men still at large - among them a fourth man charged with Degouthe's murder - to contact the nearest police station...
