Jailguards recapture teener escapee
Jailguards from the Iloilo Rehabilitation Center (IRC) recaptured late afternoon Tuesday the 17-year old detainee who escaped while throwing garbage outside IRC in the morning of the same day.
Christian, not his real name, was nabbed by jailguards some meters away from the IRC.
Retired Police Senior Superintendent Roberto Nufable, IRC technical consultant, said residents informed them of the presence of the escapee in their place.
Nufable said the escapee was not able to go afar because it was raining that time.
Christian is facing theft charges and is a "living out" detainee inside IRC's Area 5 detention center.
He was trusted by the jailguards to take the garbage out but he took it as an opportunity to escape.
Nufable said an investigation on the possible lapses of the jailguards will be made although the escapee was already recaptured.
"We would like to ensure that this will not happen again," he said.
