Escaped Prisoners Sought By Police

Police in Derbyshire are continuing to search for three men who absconded from HMP Sudbury open prison.

He is described as being white, 6ft 3ins tall, of proportionate build, cropped light brown hair and brown eyes.

Convicted murderer Daniel Driscoll, 33, from Stevenage in Herts, failed to return to the same prison on December 15 following a temporary release. He was jailed for life in 1992, along with Anthony Coughtrey, for stamping and kicking 19-year-old William Walsh to death.

He is described as white, 5ft 3ins, with short brown hair and blue eyes.

Andre Hackett, 33, from Slough, also failed to return to the prison on December 15 following a temporary release.

He was serving a four-year sentence for possession of crack cocaine with intent to supply.

He is described as being white, 5ft 8ins tall of proportionate build, with short black hair and brown eyes.

Nearly 700 inmates have absconded from Sudbury prison in the last 10 years.
