Tauchenová taken into custody despite incapacitated state

A woman who helped her husband escape from prison by attacking his police escort, has been taken into custody even as she recovers from gunshot wounds in hospital. In the case the media has dubbed the “Czech Bonnie and Clyde”, 28-year-old Dagmar Tauchenová opened fire on prison guards escorting the prisoner to a nearby hospital. Mr Tauchen had been sentenced to five years for safe-cracking and committed suicide when police caught up with them on the run. Ms Tauchenová is incapacitated after being shot in the lung as she tried to get away. The fact that she will now be moved to a high-security hospital underscores the gravity with which the judicial system views her offences, for which she faces eight years imprisonment.
