A 34-year-old Brazilian murderer, Danelo Souza Cavalcante, has escaped from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania, USA, where he had been serving a life sentence for killing his ex-girlfriend in 2021. Security camera footage captured his daring escape by climbing the prison courtyard walls. Following his escape on August 31, a large-scale search operation was launched, leading to the suspension of education in nearby schools. Authorities have warned residents about his extreme danger and advised them to stay indoors, lock their doors, and check their security cameras.
Cavalcante had brutally stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Deborah Brandao, to death in front of her children in April 2021.
