Fugitive in Portugal caught after living in caves for 16 years...

An escaped prisoner who hid out in caves and lived mainly on fruit has been recaptured in northern Portugal after 16 years on the run, police say.

The bearded, long-haired man tried to resist arrest when police cornered him at daybreak on Wednesday but he did not use the pistol he had on him, a spokesman said. 

The 54-year-old man had been serving a 10-year sentence for murder when he escaped in 1993 and disappeared into his native region of Vieira do Minho. More...

Don't miss:

  1. The Indian woman who lived in the wilds for 22 years...
  2. A "wild" child found in Siberia...
  3. Switzerland: missing woman found living in the woods...
  4. India: because they loved each other, they have lived under a tree ... for 25 years!!!
