Chetumal, Mexico:
A woman was caught trying to sneak her common-law-husband out of a Mexican prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.
A spokesman for police in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo said that staff at the prison in Chetumal noticed that the woman seemed nervous and was pulling a black, wheeled suitcase that looked bulky.
According to Public Security Secretary Carlos Viviano Villa Castillo the woman had trouble pulling the suitcase.
"We immediately found out. It was a large suitcase with a thin person, 1.6 meters tall, curled up inside," Castillo said.
Prison guards checked the bag of 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside in the foetal position.
Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession.
Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.
