Prison authorities have completed their probe into the recent escape of a murder-accused inmate from Dodds.
A report on the findings is now in the hands of Minister of Home Affairs Wilfred Abrahams.
Tyreke Delandre Benskin, 21, broke out of the St Philip penal institution last month but his bid for freedom was short-lived. Several hours after his escape, he was held by police on patrol on Yorkshire Road, Christ Church.
Benskin has been on remand for the past three and a half years, accused of the stabbing death of 22-year-old Shakeem Holder on February 2, 2020. (EJ)
