A MANHUNT that riveted Japan ended yesterday when police captured a Chinese convict who bolted from a Hiroshima penitentiary clad only in his underwear in the country's first prison break in more than two decades.
Police found Li Guolin, who was serving a 23-year sentence for attempted murder, near an elementary school in the southern Japan city yesterday.
Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, broke into programming to show police taking him into custody. He wore a heavy jacket and ski cap pulled down over his face. NHK said he had a knife when he was arrested.
Li is suspected of breaking into an apartment to steal clothes after he jumped the prison walls on Wednesday. According to the Japanese media, he also stole a beer while he was there - police reportedly found his DNA on a can he left behind.
Li, believed to be the leader of a gang of burglars, was convicted in 2005 for shooting at a police officer and stealing a squad car.
