A brutal murderer who fled prison has been jailed again after being captured 200 miles away living in a cosy bed and breakfast on the west coast of Scotland.
Paul Gerrard, 40, was caged for life with a minimum of 14 years in July 2009 after viciously stamping on the head of David Argent, 29, at a flat in Runcorn, Cheshire.
Chester Crown Court heard Gerrard and co-accused Gerrard Harper, then 39, beat Mr Argent - who endured a campaign of intimidation - unconscious. He remained in a coma for eight months before dying.
