Pennsylvania armed fugitive ‘hiding in countryside’ as 13-day manhunt continues

Convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante has been on the run after escaping prison as police warn people to stay indoors

Danelo Cavalcante, the convicted murderer who has been on the run for 13 days after escaping from a Pennsylvania prison, is now armed and believed to be hiding out deep in the countryside.

Early on Tuesday, police warned residents of the rural community of South Coventry Township - about 20 miles from Chester county prison where he escaped - to lock all doors and windows, secure vehicles and stay indoors. The fugitive, who is reportedly carrying a .22 caliber rifle, is being described as extremely dangerous and the public are being told not to approach him.
