SA: Escapee gives himself up, another found with overdose

ADELAIDE, April 13 AAP - One of the four prisoners who escaped from an Adelaide prison last
week surrendered to police today, only hours after one of his fellow escapees was found
unconscious from a heroin overdose.

Kane Dyer walked into the Port Adelaide police station this morning to give himself up
after three days on the run, Detective Superintendent Bob O'Brien said.

His surrender follows the recapture of Jason Moyle, who is under police guard in the Royal
Adelaide Hospital after suffering a heroin overdose in the Adelaide parklands yesterday
afternoon.

Dyer, Moyle, Adam Zoanetti and Brett Matthew McFarlane escaped from Yatala Labour Prison
last Friday night, while Anthony Wilson and Steven Shane Carr escaped from the Adelaide Remand
Centre early the next morning.

Wilson was recaptured on Saturday night but Zoanetti, McFarlane and Carr remain at large.

Supt O'Brien said he believed Dyer gave himself up after police contacted associates of the
escapees.

"Over the last four days, over 40 houses have been raided or visited by police throughout
the metropolitan area," he said.

"We are continuing to speak to people and visit people to try and locate the remaining
escapees ... we are appealing to them to do the same as Dyer and give themselves up before
anything silly happens."

Supt O'Brien said police believed Zoanetti and McFarlane were still in Adelaide but Carr
could be planning to go interstate.

He appealed to members of the public who knew the whereabouts of the three men to call
Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000, warning that they could be charged with harbouring a criminal
if they were protecting the escapees.
