Convicted killer caught trying to escape prison in a suitcase

                                convicted killer tried to escape in a suitcase


Jails in Venezuela have banned visitors from bringing in suitcases - after guards caught a contortionist trying to escape.
Convicted killer Gavinson Garcia - who is just 5ft 3ins tall - folded himself into the bag brought to Yare II prison in Caracas by his girlfriend Susana Blanco.
But the plan was foiled when guards spotted Blanco, 22, struggling to move the wheeled luggage as she walked towards the prison gates.

Unzipping the case, they found a semi-naked Garcia, 24, curled up inside.
Prison sources think the couple planned the escape thinking Blanco would, as was customary, only be searched on arrival to the jail and not as she left.
Lieutenant Colonel Rafael Rodríguez said Blanco had received around £800 for her part in the plot.
Garcia is believed to have paid fellow prisoners about £2,500 to help him escape.
