A 55-year-old murderer and male gang leader identified as Francisco Herrera Argueta, have been apprehended by security operatives after he attempted to break out of prison while disguised as a woman after it was noticed that he was 'walking funny' and 'speaking in a man's voice.'
According to a shocking report by
Dailymail, the convict who dressed as a woman as he attempted to break out of a maximum security jail in San Pedro Sula, Honduras on Wednesday, had planned to pretend he was a female visitor to the jail, Jacinta Elvira Araujo, who had left her identity card with guards on Sunday.
The gang leader known as Don Chico, who has been in jail since September 2015 could be transferred to the notorious El Pozo jail in Santa Barbara, known as Honduras' most dangerous prison, following his escape attempt.
Despite his best efforts to look like a woman complete with blusher and pink painted nails, Argueta apparently forgot to speak like one when it was his turn to pick up the identity card at the jail exit so he could leave.
Police spokesman, Bayron Sauceda said officers had already noticed the woman's 'funny walk' as Argueta struggled to walk on high heels, but he had still managed to pass through several security filters on his way to the exit.
Then when a guard at the prison gate asked the apparent visitor for her identity card number she 'spoke with a hoarse, male voice.'
Argueta was finally unmasked after the guard asked the woman to remove her dark glasses so he could verify her identity photo and 'the make-up couldn't hide the fact that he was a man,' according to the spokesman.
Prison officials said he will now be punished for his escape attempt and could be transferred to the notorious El Pozo jail in Santa Barbara, known as Honduras' most dangerous prison.
