Escaped US inmates 'could be near Mexico'
THE man hunt for two convicted murders who escaped from a maximum-security prison in New York state has left local residents on edge.
TWO convicted murderers who used power tools to cut their way out of a prison near the Canadian border could be nearby or "in Mexico by now," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says.
THE intense man hunt focused on the fields and Adirondack woods near the prison in upstate New York after the inmates' escape was apparently hampered by a prison employee's decision to back out as their getaway driver nine days ago.
