Police have recaptured a second fugitive from the daring Constant Spring lock-up jailbreak, narrowing the hunt for the seven remaining criminals who escaped on Tuesday.

He has been identified as 19-year-old, Richard Bishop, of an Olympic Way address in St Andrew. He is charged with burglary and larceny.

The police did not release details of his capture.

The police recaptured 45-year-old, David Rhoden of Malvern Avenue in Kingston, shortly after the jailbreak.

The other men still at large are:

- Kemal Kelly, 25-year-old, of Mannings Hill district, St Andrew. He is charged with assault at common law and using a firearm to commit a scheduled offence.

- Talik Chambers, 23-year-old, of a Burlington Avenue address in St Andrew, who is charged with identity theft.

- Brandon Ennis, 26-year-old, of Belvedere, Red Hills, St Andrew, who is charged with possession of prohibited weapon.

- Junior Anthony Barnes, 26-year-old, of Iron river, Stony Hill, St Andrew, who is charged with possession of weapon and ammunition.

- Donque Douglas, 25-year-old, of Oxford Street, Kingston, charge unknown.

- Alonzo Espute, 19-year-old, of Cassava Piece, St Andrew, who is charged with murder (stabbing).

- Fray Mesias, 18-year-old, of Pinto, Stony Hill, St Andrew, who is charged with rape.

The police are reminding members of the public that it is a criminal offence to harbour a fugitive.

The police say the prisoners escaped by cutting their way through a grille and a door made of metal.

The High Command says resources have been deployed islandwide to support the recapture of the men.
