Two inmates break free in daring escape

Arnon Denmad, 32, and Monthon Khansaman, 47, who were serving sentences for drug abuse managed to make their way out of their cells at around 3am, and squeezed through the barbed wire until they got to the wall.

The prison warden believes they used blankets to cushion their drop from the high wall, while CCTV footage showed them making their way to a bus station.

Police have launched a manhunt for the two and will search Monthon’s home in Krabi and Arnon’s home in Trang province.
