Warden sacked in wake of prisoners' holiday escape

Two men recaptured in Hebei after fleeing Liaoning jail on Thursday

The warden of a prison in northeastern China's Liaoning province has been dismissed after a prison break by two inmates during the National Day holiday.

Authorities in Liaoning launched an investigation as soon as the two escapees were recaptured on Saturday, the Liaoning Prison Administrative Bureau said in an online statement on Sunday.
