A man arrested for kidnapping a young doctor later escaped from Corrections custody claiming he believed his organs were about to be harvested. Uditha Punchihewa spent two months on the run after overpowering a security officer on a visit from the prison to hospital.
Punchihewa s excuse wasn t enough to stop police charging him for his escape though - with the 32-year-old yesterday appearing in the Wellington District Court for sentencing on the matter.
