Aussie News: Fears Facebook fugitive has fooled authorities

Justin Grant, is a fugitive that slipped away from his guards during a hospital visit in Townsville last Thursday. Since then, he started to appear actively at facebook. This included accepting friend request as well as updating his status to mock authorities that had failed to track him. It is understood police officers from across the city descended on Gulliver, in Townsville, on Thursday after a tip-off, but it was a false alarm. "Ha u watch ile hav to hand myself in before they cach me,'' was a message posted on Grant's Facebook site on Wednesday. Queensland Treasurer Andrew Fraser told ABC Radio on Friday that one avenue being investigated by police was whether the site was being run by someone else as part of a clever ruse. Mr. Fraser claimed that police is uncertain that whether the Facebook site was being run by someone else or the fugitive himself. However, police declined to make any comment.

Critique: In this era of globalisation, Facebook has become one of the famous social networking sites nowadays. Almost everyone is having their own facebook account. People are busy updataing their status in Facebook, uploading photos in Fabebook and so on. From the news above, even fugitive is using Facebook to mock authorities now. How interesting right ?!
