ST. KITTS/ST. MAARTEN-The man hunt for escaped prisoner Kathron Fortune, also known as “Cuchi,” is now over as he was detained in St Kitts on Saturday evening.
St. Maarten authorities were alerted by Nevis Police Force officials shortly after the arrest was made.
Fortune fled on Monday, February 15, 2016 at approximately 3:30pm. He was taken to a doctor’s clinic in Cay Hill, when he managed to draw a firearm on the two guards who were with him at the time. He took off on foot and was picked up by an unmarked vehicle, and had been on the run ever since.
Details about his capture have not yet been released, but The Daily Herald understands that the Police Department will be issuing a statement later on Sunday.
