A Gateshead murderer is back behind bars after going on the run from an open prison.

Lee Nevins was jailed for life for killing disabled man Lee Jobling in an unprovoked attack in 2006. However, the convicted murderer absconded from HMP Sudbury in Derbyshire while out on day release and went on the run for almost two weeks.

Nevins was found in Washington on Saturday, October 8 by officers from Northumbria Police and arrested. He was charged with remaining unlawfully at large after temporary release.
