Gateshead murderer Lee Nevins caught in North East after Derbyshire prison escape

A Gateshead killer who went on the run for the second time after absconding from an open prison has been caught.

Lee Nevins had been on the run for almost two weeks after failing to return to HMP Sudbury in Derbyshire, where he was out on day release. Derbyshire Police launched a hunt for the convicted murderer who was jailed for life for killing disabled Lee Jobling in 2006.

Now the force has confirmed that Nevins was found by officers from Northumbria Police in Washington on Saturday, October 8.
