A policeman killer who went on the run for 13 years and a thug who stabbed another to death are bidding for freedom.
James Hurley, now 60, was jailed for life for shooting off-duty constable Frank Mason in the back during a security van raid in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, in 1988.
After six years in jail, he escaped by threatening a prison officer with a knife as he was being moved between prisons. He was finally recaptured in The Hague, Netherlands, 13 years later.
