A convicted murderer is one of two inmates who remain at large after absconding from a South Gloucestershire prison on New Year’s Day, police have said.
Matthew Armstrong, 35, was convicted in 2009 of a murder that occurred during a robbery in Warwickshire, police said.
He and Daniel Washbourne, 40, who has previous convictions for offences of violence against a person and false imprisonment, are believed to have left HMP Leyhill between 5pm and 8pm on Thursday.
Avon and Somerset Police appealed to the public for information after a third inmate suspected of absconding at the same time was arrested in Bristol earlier on Saturday.
