Police have arrested yet another prisoner from the Kibos Prison, bringing the number of those so far re-arrested to three.
Those arrested recently escaped from the prison.
Only one of the condemned capital offenders remains at large after one was killed in Kabarnet, Baringo County in September and another one arrested two weeks later in Kakamega.
On Thursday, prison authorities said they had arrested Douglas Onyancha who was serving life sentence over robbery with violence and the murder of a fellow inmate.
He was nabbed at his home in Ogembo, Kisii County.
Nyanza regional Prisons commander, Amos Misik said a contingent of CID officers, Administrative Police and officers from the Prison Department, acting on a tip off, stormed the homestead and recaptured the jailbird at 4am on Tuesday.
"We got a tip-off about his presence there and sent our officers who teamed up with the police and ambushed him this today at dawn," Misik said.
Onyancha was ferried back to Kisumu under heavy security and was to be interrogated by CIDs who have been trailing the four since the August 5, daring jail-break.
He will appear in court to be charged with escaping from lawful custody.
His recapture comes a month after Idd Salim Sifuna alias Masibo who was serving life imprisonment over three counts of robbery with violence was rearrested in Kakamega after a violent robbery that left two night guards dead.
Nyanza regional co-ordinator for the Directorate of Criminal Investigation John Gachomo said when they recaptured Sifuna after they stepped up search for the remaining two convicts because they were proving dangerous on the prowl.
Sifuna was picked by CID officers after he was arrested by members of the public at Chekata market in Navakholo, Kakamega County.
He denied escaping from Prison and the case is being heard.
Two weeks earlier another escapee, Kenneth Lekesho who was on 20 years jail sentence for defilement was killed by police in Kabarnet, Baringo County after he violently resisted arrest.
According to the Prisons Department, the inmates escaped after cutting the window grills of their cell and scaled the five meter-high perimeter wall using blankets and sheets.
