Chai Changpan, 53, has been on death row in Jakarta, Indonesia since being convicted in 2017 of smuggling 135kg of crystal meth.

Earlier this month, he escaped by tunnelling through the waste pipes in his cell into the sewers, which led to a nearby village, The Times reports.

More than a dozen prison officers, including the head guard, have been questioned in connection with the escape, which was timed to coincide with a shift change.
