'He's got no remorse' - Murdered Lee Jobling's family demands answers after Gateshead killer fled prison for the second time

The family of murdered Lee Jobling is demanding answers after his killer escaped prison for the second time and made his way to the North East.

Convicted murderer Lee Nevins, from Gateshead, was caught by police in Washington on Saturday, October 8 after almost two weeks on the run from open prison, HMP Sudbury, in Derbyshire. The killer was jailed for life for murdering disabled Lee at his Gateshead home in an unprovoked attack in 2006.

Lee, who was just 20 when he was murdered, was raised by his auntie Angela Knotts following the death of his mum. The family said they have spent days in fear since hearing from police that Nevins was on the run for a second time since his first escape in 2008.
