One of the men who escaped from the Bellville Magistrates Court cells last Tuesday has been detained by police.
Deodath Adams was arrested on Saturday evening in the Paarl area after the search for him and Raymond Hendricks who stand accused of murder escaped from the holding cells before they were scheduled to appear in court. 
“Unfortunately we won’t be able to reveal more specifications in terms of exactly where and what he was doing but this will form part of evidence to be presented in court,” says police spokesperson Elliot Sinyangana. However police are still searching for Hendricks who escaped with Adams.
In August 8 2007 the two were arrested for a double murder that occurred in Delft on 24 May last year. 17-year-old Simthebred Ntengento and 20-year-old Unathi Mavuduka were found murdered in Leiden, Delft by passers-by.
