A massive manhunt is under way in Pennsylvania for a prison inmate who escaped just a week after being sentenced to life in prison for murder.

Brazilian national Danelo Cavalcante, 34, escaped from Chester County Prison in West Chester on Thursday morning.

A week ago, he was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing an ex-girlfriend to death in front of her two small children.

Cavalcante is also wanted for murder in Brazil.

Officials are warning the public to be cautious ahead of the Labour Day holiday weekend. On Friday, West Chester University, located near the prison, announced that it was temporarily suspending classes due to "an abundance of caution".

At a news conference on Thursday, the prison's acting warden, Howard Holland,
offered no details on how the escape took place, saying only that an investigation is ongoing.


There's got to be a story behind this! I just hope they catch him fast.
