Deneysville - A man who escaped from police custody in Deneysville more than a week ago, has been rearrested.

Elias Khobi (29), who was arrested in possession of stolen property, escaped ten days ago and was rearrested in Ventersburg on Wednesday.

Khobi was in a holding cell with two other suspects when he escaped.

Free State police spokesperson, Sellwane Mapamela, said the cell door was found open.

It is still unclear how Khobi managed to escape.

He appeared in the Sasolburg Magistrate's Court yesterday on the escape charge.

The case was postponed to Wednesday for bail application on both the escape and stolen property charges.
