@radiomoris: From Mr Mauritius & Mr Indian Ocean to prison escapee and one of Mauritius’ most controversial deaths. Rajen Sabapathee (Dharmarajen Sabapathee) was a bodybuilding champion who competed at Mr Universe level, ran a gym, and was a local icon. Then came the drug convictions, a dramatic escape from La Bastille prison in July 1999 with four other inmates, a six-month manhunt, a shootout in Quatre-Bornes, and finally the police operation in Chamarel on 21 January 2000. He fired on officers (wounding two), police returned fire, and he died en route to hospital. An inquiry ruled no foul play. His family has never accepted the official version. This is the full story: from the stage to the fugitive years to the day he was killed. Multi-part series. Part 1 is up. Follow so you don’t miss the rest. credits: TéléPlus date: Jun 9, 2016 #RajenSabapathee #MrMauritius #Mauritius #TrueCrime #Chamarel
