Murderer runs away from psychiatric hospital and immediately finds a job
Croatian Times
A 45-year-old patient who ran away from Zagreb's Vrapce psychiatric hospital last Friday found himself a job while police were searching for him.
The man was found on a bus going to the eastern Croatian city of Osijek and was returned to the hospital on Wednesday.
The man succeeded in earning 50 Euros working at building sites thanks to a homeless employment service in the few days after his escape.
The daily Jutarnji list has reported that he bought himself a bus ticket for a trip to Osijek with the money he had earned.
The man allegedly wanted to go to Hungary to apply for political asylum.
The patient, considered to be extremely dangerous, was hospitalized after he had stabbed a person 25 times in October 2008 in Zagreb. Despite that he had escaped from the hospital last Friday, police informed the media about it only on Tuesday.
