Mexico ( Inmate who tried to "Escape " found Dead in his Cell )


MEXICO CITY – An inmate who recently fled from a prison in central Mexico only to be recaptured the next day was found beaten to death inside his cell, Morelos state authorities said.

Guards made the discovery Wednesday after Hilario Montaño, 45, failed to show up for roll call.

The victim, who was serving 30 years for homicide and auto theft, escaped from Atlacholoya prison with three other inmates last Friday, but was apprehended a day later.

Media outlets said that once back in custody, Montaño told authorities the escapees had help from guards. The same outlets suggested he might have been killed for fingering the guards.

“They are accounts that are circulating, but they are not confirmed,” the No. 2 official in Morelos, Government Secretary Jorge Messeguer, told Radio Formula.

He added, however, that Montaño’s murder would be incomprehensible “without the complicity of guards.”

All of the guards who were on duty Wednesday will be questioned in connection with Montaño’s killing, the state government said.

Ten guards at Atlacholoya are already under investigation for the Jan. 3 escape
