Thabo Bester, also known as the “Facebook Rapist,” was returned to South Africa on Thursday after escaping from a top-security prison with the help of guards. Bester was serving a life sentence for murder and rape when he faked his own death in a fire and escaped with his girlfriend, celebrity doctor Nandipha Magudumana.
Upon his return to Johannesburg’s Lanseria Airport, Bester was driven away in a police vehicle with bars across the windows, while Magudumana was put into a separate white van. Bester is expected to be charged with murder for his part in the elaborate jailbreak plot.
The escape of Bester and Magudumana has caused a stir in South Africa, with many questioning how the pair were able to escape from a maximum security prison. Bester was initially arrested in 2011 for the rape of a woman he had met on Facebook. He was later convicted of murder and rape in 2014 and sentenced to life in prison.
The South African Police Service has launched an investigation into the escape, and the guards who helped Bester and Magudumana are expected to face disciplinary action. It is unclear what charges Magudumana will face, if any.
