National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe, would neither confirm nor deny Bester, a convicted murderer and rapist who escaped from prison in May, has been nabbed.
Two sources – a police officer and one who is close to the investigation team that has been tracking Bester – told Sowetan anonymously that the arrest has been effected.Sowetan understands that Interpol had been involved in tracing Bester. Interpol said:"If or when police in any of Interpol's 195 member countries share information with the General Secretariat in Lyon in relation to investigations and individuals, this information remains under the ownership of that member country. Interpol does not therefore comment on specific cases or individuals except in special circumstances or with the approval of the member country concerned.
Sowetan last week reported how a bakkie drove into the maximum security prison in Free State with a wooden Kist. The incident took place hours before a charred corpse was found in a single cell in which Bester had been recently moved to.
