NSW prison escapee charged February 28, 2013 - 6:49PM Police have charged a prison escapee who was captured in the NSW Snowy Mountains after two days on the run. Convicted murderer Adam Bowhay, an inmate of Cooma Correctional Centre, ran away from Snowy Oval in Cooma about 1.15pm (AEDT) on Tuesday. He was doing community work with two other inmates as part of an approved pre-release program. Police conducted a large manhunt over the last two days. The 34-year-old was recaptured at the township of Bredbo between Cooma and Canberra on the Monaro Highway at 11.40am (AEDT) on Thursday, after he was spotted by a member of the public. The man was charged with escaping custody and larceny and will appear in Goulburn Local Court on Friday, police said. Sergeant Paul Batista from Monaro Local Area Command said the larceny charges relate to items the offender allegedly stole from a local football club during his escape. "They include some assorted tools and a backpack," Sergeant Batista told AAP on Thursday. Bowhay has been returned to the custody of NSW Corrective Services. He is serving a 23-year sentence for the stabbing murder of Steven Jarvis at Casino in northern NSW in 1997.
