A 64-year-old fugitive walked into a Sydney police station to give himself up, almost 30 years after he used a hacksaw blade and bolt cutters to escape from prison, police said on Wednesday.
Darko Desic decided to go back to prison because Sydney’s COVID-19 lockdown made him unemployed and homeless, reports said.
Mr. Desic surrendered at Dee Why Police Station in Sydney’s fashionable northern beaches on Sunday morning, and was denied bail when he appeared in a downtown court on Tuesday, charged with escaping from lawful custody in 1992, a police statement said. The charge carries a potential seven-year prison sentence.
