-- Pennsylvania State Police stated early Wednesday that information were forthcoming on the capture of Danelo Cavalcante.

The left killer broke out of the Chester County jail Aug. 31 while awaiting transfer to a state prison to serve a life sentence for fatally stabbing an ex-girlfriend in 2021. District attorneys say he killed her to stop her from telling cops that he was wanted in a slaying in Brazil, his home nation.

Law enforcement stated the other day Cavalcante was still thought to be within a particular location in a rural stretch of Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Troopers stated he stole a rifle from a garage Tuesday.

An interview on Cavalcante's capture is set up later on Wednesday early morning.
