A dad who helped his late friend's son out of "misplaced loyalty" when he escaped from prison has avoided joining him behind bars.
Craig Inskip was serving a sentence for robbery when he fled from custody during a hospital visit. Ten days later he was found at Anthony Wray's home, hiding at the bottom of a bed.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Wray was good friends with Inskip's dad, his former employer, who killed himself ten years ago. He pleaded guilty to assisting an offender on the basis he let Inskip use his phone and that he had only been at his home for a short time when police turned up.
