The two Maltese prison inmates who were missing in Tunisia following the uprising in the country are currently being questioned by Maltese police.

Thomas Camilleri of Gzira and Glenn Paul Xuereb of San Gwann, both 22, had been detained at the Messadine jail in Sousse since July but went missing after a massive prison breakout last month.

The two young men arrived in Malta on a flight from Libya yesterday evening.

The police were tipped off before their arrival and arrested them on arrival.
