HARBIN: Authorities in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province have confirmed that one of the two prison escapees was captured early Friday morning.
Manhunt for 21-year-old Chen Congcong, another fugitive convict, is continuing, said the statement.
According to information given by the public security bureau of Harbin City, the provincial capital, Sun and Chen escaped from Liming Prison in the city's outer Dongli District Tuesday.
The two convicts, who were said to have just begun their 10-year jail terms for robbery, reportedly escaped while they were clearing snow with other prisoners outside their cells.
