“The police in Hoedspruit have launched a massive manhunt for four awaiting trail prisoners, who have escaped from the Hoedspruit holding cell yesterday.
“The four apparently escaped through the roof. They were arrested for murder, business and house robbery and as well as house break-ins, so they are regarded as dangerous.”
