Frenchman stages chopper escape from jail
Afp, Marseille
A convicted killer who had already made one helicopter-assisted prison break and organised another, escaped by helicopter from a French prison Saturday for a second time. Pascal Payet, 43, broke out of Grasse prison, southeast France, after a helicopter hijacked by four masked men landed on the roof of one of the prison buildings, said a source close to the investigation. The helicopter, which had been hijacked earlier in the evening at the Cannes-Mandelieu airport, landed some time later at Brignoles, 38km northeast of Toulon, on the Mediterranean coast.
