Legless prisoner escapes
September 15, 2003

South African police are searching for a prisoner with no legs who managed to escape "unnoticed" from a hospital, the Saturday Star reported.

"Two months later, he is still 'on the run' and the law enforcement authorities appear to be stumped," it said.

The newspaper said that Francois Johannes Pieterse, who had been serving a 10-year sentence in the east coast city of Durban for fraud and impersonating a doctor, was taken to a hospital there, but escaped in July.

The guard assigned to him has been charged with negligence.

....

He's either really clever, or the guard is really stupid.

"Two months later, he is still 'on the run' and the law enforcement authorities appear to be stumped."

C'mon, that's just mean.

What are they supposed to say? Two months later he is still on the hand?

It's safe to say that he's not on foot.
