POTTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania police say escaped murderer Danelo Souza Cavalcante has been captured after two weeks on the run. State police announced Cavalcante’s capture on social media Wednesday and planned a news conference announcing details. His condition wasn’t immediately released. Heavily armed police had descended on the South Coventry Township area, closing roads and telling residents to lock their doors. The 34-year-old Cavalcante broke out of the Chester County jail Aug. 31 while awaiting transfer to a state prison to serve a life sentence for fatally stabbing an ex-girlfriend in 2021. The capture was announced as the search in rural southeastern Pennsylvania entered its 14th day.
