Manhunt Continues for Two Inmates After Belgian Prison Break

Oualid, 26, brother of Ashraf Sekkaki, a notorious criminal known by the nickname "king of escape", is one of the two escapees from the Turnhout prison, still on the run. Three of the five escapees were arrested.
While they were taking their walk on Thursday evening, five inmates from the Turnhout prison managed to escape by car. While the police were able to apprehend three of them (Mohamud Ahmed Hamza, Hasni Adil and Alhaj Mahmoud), the other two, including Oualid, are still on the run, reports HLN.
Oualid, 26, had been sentenced to two years in prison for a shooting in Hoboken in March 2015. He is the brother of Ashraf Sekkaki, a formidable criminal nicknamed the "king of escape". At 36, he has several armed robberies, carjackings and tiger kidnappings to his credit. Detained in a prison in Morocco, he still has 12 years of sentence to serve.
His bad reputation designates him as the one who would have helped his brother and the other inmates to successfully escape. In 2010, Ashraf Sekkaki had escaped from the Turnhout prison. It was his last escape before that of last Thursday.
