Bester, a convicted murderer and rapist, escaped from a privately-run prison in May 2022.

He allegedly staged his own death at the Bloemfontein facility, helped by his girlfriend Nandipha Magadumana.

The pair were eventually captured in Tanzania in April 2023, before being returned to South Africa.
