Double Trouble Fugitive's Mysterious Hardware Store Visit
Bruchsal, Baden-Württemberg - The intriguing case of Aleksandr Perepelenko (44), the double-murder convict who busted out during a prison transfer half a month ago, continues to unravel. Peculiarly, reports suggest that Perepelenko paid a visit to a hardware store with prison guards before his daring escape!
Since the end of 2019, Perepelenko has made eight escape attempts from Bruchsal Prison. On October 30, he granted himself yet another opportunity by failing to return from a quarry pond engagement with his family.
Justice Minister Marion Gentges (52, CDU) of Baden-Württemberg had to inform the Stuttgart state parliament about the incident, as the electronic ankle bracelet Perepelenko always wore was discovered sliced in Germersheim, Rhineland-Palatinate. She outlined that any restraint mechanism could theoretically be cut using the right tool.
However, the specific tool Perepelenko used remains unknown. Recently, Südwestrundfunk (SWR) reported that the double killer might have obtained the cutting device during his hardware store visit, where he was reportedly looking to buy boards for his wife.
FDP deputy Julia Goll (59) of Bruchsal, frustrated by the alleged ease with which employees cut their ankle bracelets, expressed: "I've been informed by several sources that household scissors can be enough to remove an ankle cuff."
In light of the situation, Christian Jung (45), FDP parliamentarian in Bruchsal, calls for stricter measures, such as handcuffing the prisoners to staff while being transported. He said the public was not convinced by the apparent inefficiency of the electronic ankle bracelets used.
The Ministry of Justice has decided to investigate the officers who accompanied Perepelenko during the failed escape. Currently, 412 inmates live at Bruchsal Prison, of which 52 are executed regularly. Among these, 29 have been found guilty of murder or attempted murder, and six of manslaughter.
There has been no trace of Perepelenko since his escape, and the police are now conducting an extensive search throughout Europe. In 2003, Perepelenko was convicted of manslaughter. In 2012, he went on trial in Karlsruhe Regional Court for a murder conviction. Judges found him guilty of tying up a mail carrier due to greed and later strangling him.
- In a bizarre twist, the elusive Perepelenko might have obtained a tool to cut his electronic ankle bracelet during a visit to a hardware store before his escape.
- Reports have emerged that Aleksandr Perepelenko might have acquired the necessary tool to break his electronic ankle bracelet while making a stop at a hardware store before his meeting with his family.
- The enigmatic escape of Aleksandr Perepelenko, the double-murder convict, has taken an unexpected turn as investigators look into a stop at a hardware store before his escape, where he purchased an item potentially used to cut his ankle bracelet.
