Thabo Bester, known as the 'Facebook rapist', escaped from South African prison last year.
A police officer leads Thabo Bester out of the holding cells at the Durban Magistrates Court in 2011A rapist and murderer who escaped a South African prison by faking his own death has been arrested in Tanzania.
A manhunt was launched last month after a new post-mortem investigation revealed the body wasn't actually his. He was convicted in 2012 for the rape and murder of his model girlfriend Nomfundo Tyhulu. A year earlier, he'd been found guilty of raping and robbing two other women. Employees of the British-owned security company G4S, which ran the prison where he was held, have been accused of helping him flee.Earlier this week, representatives for the organisation failed to attend a meeting in parliament about Bester's escape. The BBC has approached G4S for comment.
