Convicted murderer fakes death with help from guards in South African jailbreak.

A man serving a life sentence for murder and rape who escaped from a top-security prison in South Africa with the help of guards by faking his own burning death was brought back to the country after being arrested in Tanzania. His girlfriend, a celebrity doctor, was also arrested and expected to be charged with murder as part of the elaborate jailbreak plot. More arrests were expected. Lawmakers held a parliamentary hearing into security failures that played a role in the breakout and questioned senior officials from the prison and British private security company G4S, which has a long-term contract to run it.
