The Route Less Taken

Juliano Verbard, a cult leader who was serving a 15 year prison term for rape and sexual assaults on children escaped in a helicopter from a prison in Reunion, an island in the Indian Ocean. He and two of his followers escaped after they were hauled on board the helicopter by three accomplices. In a daring escape the helicopter that was hijacked by his accomplices was made to land on a waste ground near the Domenjod prison. They later escaped in a van that was waiting for them. The crew members of the helicopter who were threatened with a gun and a bottle of petrol are helping the police with the investigations.
