A South African rapist and murderer who escaped prison was flown back to his home country in the early hours of Thursday following his arrest last week in Tanzania.
Tanzania has deported one of South Africa's most-wanted fugitives, the rapist and murderer Thabo Bester, who faked his death in prison and fled to the East African state.
If this were the plot of a movie, it would be too far-fetched to be believable. A high-profile convicted murderer was accused of faking his own death in a fire, then escaping the prison to live in the open with his celebrity doctor girlfriend.
Theo Bester, 35, and his girlfriend, Dr. Nandipha Magudumana, were returned to South Africa Thursday, nearly a year after the convicted murderer and rapist broke out of a maximum-security prison by faking his own death in a fire.
