The police say a manhunt continues for 19-year-old Eustace Powell of Lincoln Road, Kingston 5, who is charged with rape and buggery, and 29-year-old Sanjay Burton, otherwise called ‘Christopher Peart’ or ‘Michael’, of Tavern Avenue, Kingston 6, who is facing fraud-related offences.
According to the police, during a check of the jail cell about 6:50 p.m. the men were discovered missing.
They reportedly escaped by cutting through a metal grille.
