More than 400 prisoners were on the run in Haiti on Friday a day after they escaped from jail in a violent breakout that left 25 people dead, including the prison director, officials said.


Photographs showed at least three bodies lying outside the prison on Thursday & some captured prisoners under armed guard in the back of a truck.

"Twenty-Five people died including six prisoners & Divisional Inspector Paul Hector Joseph who was in charge of the prison." Secretary of Communication Frantz Exantus said of the Thursday's mass escape from the jail in the suburbs of capital Port-au-Prince.

"Among those killed were ordinary citizens who were killed by the prisoners during their escape."

One of the inmates who died was gang leader Arnel Joseph, who was gunned down on Friday at a police check 120km (75miles) north of the prison.

"Arnel Joseph was killed while attacking a police patrol which had stopped the motorcycle he was on. The police responded & Arnel Joseph is dead" Exantus said.
