The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) has confirmed that an inmate, Itai Madhongo, tried to escape while attending a court hearing for a rape charge.
Madhongo, who's serving 38 years for unlawful entry, rape and armed robbery, attacked a ZPCS officer in the court cell, injuring him with a sharp object.
He then disguised himself in the officer's uniform, but was quickly caught hiding under sewer drain pipes at the court thanks to a swift response by ZPCS SWAT team and other officers.
A dismal attempt at a prison break. All those sleepless nights watching Prison Break, only for Michael Scoffield's inspiration to foil.
The ZPCS is investigating the incident and condemns the violence and escape attempt
