According to police, the visit went normally, but the guards soon realized their mistake. While checking the visitor sign-in sheet, they noticed that the signature that the visitor made when he signed in did not match the signature he made when he left.

Guards reacted immediately and stopped the escaping prisoner just outside the prison gates, where they found him in the company of a former cell mate. Both the prisoner and the brother – who was already behind bars – were arrested.
