Convicted rapist fakes death and escapes prison in South Africa manhunt.

South African police are searching for convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester, known as the "Facebook rapist," who escaped from a maximum security prison in Free State province. Bester was believed to have died in a fire in his cell last year, but it has since been revealed that he escaped and has been living in Johannesburg's Hyde Park suburb. The prison escape has raised questions about the possible involvement of prison officials. A manhunt has been launched for Bester, who has been spotted shopping in Johannesburg's upmarket Sandton area and has been romantically linked to a prominent celebrity doctor.
