Two escaped Georgia inmates have been captured in Tennessee, the US, ABC News reported.

Donnie Rowe, 43, and Ricky Dubose, 24, had been on the run since Tuesday after killing two guards on a prison bus in Georgia. 

Police say the men, who are both serving time for armed robbery at Baldwin State Prison, hijacked the prison transport bus. 

"They were inside the caged area of the bus," Sheriff Sills said at a press conference. "How they got through the locks and things up to that area I do not know."
