A French murderer who escaped from a
Swiss prison this week, leaving a letter
vowing to turn himself back in after
taking a few days off, has kept his
promise, the authorities said on Friday.
The 38-year-old man, who had been
serving part of a 15-year sentence for
the brutal murder of a prostitute at a
semi-open Geneva penal institution,
sparked an international manhunt when
he failed to return on Sunday after
spending the day working outside the
prison. In a letter addressed to his
mother, he had explained that he
needed four to five days of freedom and
vowed to turn himself in once he had
taken "some air". "I will behave while I'm
on the lam," he promised in the letter,
his lawyer told AFP. Keeping his
promise, he walked back into the prison
late on Thursday, the Geneva
authorities said in a statement.
