The Anonymous Widower

Dish Ran Away with the Spoon

This story is from the Daily Mirror.

A woman tunnelled out of jail using a spoon.

The attractive un-named 35-year-old – doing 18 years for trying to murder her sister-in-law – was called “a dish” by local newspapers.

Her lawyer Ludo Hameleers said: “She would have been released in 18 months. She just couldn’t wait.”

The woman, who had served 12 years, dug the 30ft tunnel from a cellar of her Dutch jail, hid the soil in her trouser legs and then sprinkled it around the yard – a ruse straight from classic PoW tale The Great Escape.

This is the complete story, so apologies to the Mirror.

On the other hand, this was repeated word-for-word on the BBC.
