MARONDERA — Police have re-arrested a 38-year-old man who escaped from Chikurubi Prison Farm nearly three years ago and was wanted for a string of crimes, authorities said Friday.

Hillary Chiduwo was apprehended on May 1 at his mother’s home in Chipipiro Village, Wedza, following a tip-off, according to the Zimbabwe Republic Police.

Chiduwo had been on the run since May 24, 2022, when he escaped from custody while serving a sentence at the maximum-security facility. He was also wanted in connection with three cases of unlawful entry and theft.
