Daring but stupid. Escaped Murder Suspect Surrenders in Pennsylvania:
An accused murderer who escaped from prison by rappelling seven floors down the side of a jail house on a rope made of knotted bedsheets surrendered to authorities late Monday, police said.Hugo Selenski, 30, who has been charged with murdering two of five people whose bodies were found buried in his back yard, had eluded a three-day police manhunt after he shimmied down the bedsheet rope from a window in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on Friday, authorities said.
His former cell mate, Scott Bolton, tried to escape with Selenski but fell and was injured. Selenski climbed to freedom over the razor-wire of a perimeter fence on a prison mattress.
Selenski surrendered to authorities at his home near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, about 120 miles north of Philadelphia. He was returned to custody under a surrender agreement brokered by his attorney, police said.
“The police will never think to look for me at home!”
