Prisoner caught by blood trace in snow

The Belgian police have been able to pick up a fugitive prisoner in Menen thanks to the heavy snowfall.

After his leave this weekend, the 36-year-old man had not returned to prison, so the police started a search. 'Based on our information, we suspected that the prisoner was staying in a house in the Kortrijkstraat in Menen', said a police spokesman. 'When we penetrated the house to get the man out of bed, he chose the hares. He could flee through a platform and a dome. '
