Convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped prison nearly two weeks ago, has been apprehended by police in Pennsylvania, officials said Wednesday. 

Hundreds of law enforcement officials have been involved in a far-reaching manhunt for the past two weeks.

Cavalcante escaped Chester County Prison on Aug. 31, about a week after he was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his girlfriend by fatally stabbing her 38 times in front of her two young children. He was also wanted in a separate homicide case in Brazil.

This is a developing story.
