A guard at a Haiti prison is suspected of helping 173 inmates escape from a prison over the weekend. The breakout from the prison occurred on Saturday, and the inmates killed the head prison guard and wounded two other guards in the process. A preliminary investigation indicated that a guard “forgot” to lock a door as the inmates were eating. The prisoners then left the cafeteria and armed themselves with police weapons. It appears the inmates stripped the prison guards — all National Police agents — of their weapons. Some of those who escaped were considered armed and dangerous and around 20 of them were serving more than 10 years.
