A Man Manages To Escape Prison By Switching Places With His Twin Brother

A man in jail somehow managed to escape with the help of his brother. 

Murat A. was serving a long prison sentence in southern Turkey when his twin brother, Huseyin, came to visit him last Thursday. 

They were apparently allowed to meet face to face and they used this opportunity to do what most people wouldn't dream of doing. Swap identities.

A photo of the two shows that they are not exactly identical, but it turns out they looked enough alike to trick prison guards into allowing Murat to just walk out of the detention facility.

It’s not yet clear why the inmate’s brother agreed to take his place in a maximum security prison, but an investigation is ongoing.
