Thabo Bester was at large for a year after it was thought he died by setting himself on fire in his prison cell.塔博·贝斯特 (Thabo Bester) 在被认为是在牢房中自焚身亡后逍遥法外了一年。

A manhunt was launched last month after a new post-mortem investigation revealed the body was not actually his.在一项新的验尸调查显示尸体实际上不是他的尸体后，上个月展开了搜捕行动。

In May, it was reported he had been found dead in his cell after apparently setting himself on fire at the Mangaung Correctional Centre in the city of Bloemfontein.据报道，5 月，他在布隆方丹市 Mangaung 惩教中心自焚后被发现死在牢房中。

However, local media began to raise doubts about Bester's death late last year.然而，当地媒体在去年底开始对贝斯特的死提出质疑。
