Monday, 15th June 2009 - 13:19CET
An immigrant from the Ivory Coast who escaped from a detention camp last night was caught at the airport trying to leave using a false passport.
Stephen Kybrene was arrested along with Maswell Asiadu, 29 of Ghana, who is resident in an open centre.
Both were taken to court accused of making use of false passports and jailed for eight months and five months suspended for three years respectively.
During the hearing, counsel for Kybrene said the migrant had not wanted to break the law, and had only wanted to get away because he saw no future for himself in Malta.
