While police are on the search for the assailant, two more escapees were recaptured this weekend in southern Belize. It's been five weeks since the massive prison breakout, and finally, the other alleged co-ringleader was captured. Carlos Montejo was said to have gained the trust of the prison guards, all the while planning the escape. He and Enrique Martinez were found in Pomona Village.
