Murderer and second inmate who escaped prison arrested

A murderer and a second inmate who fled a prison on New Year's Day have been arrested.

Matthew Armstrong and Daniel Washbourne were arrested today after absconding from HMP Leyhill. Armstrong, 35, was convicted of murdering someone during a robbery in Warwickshire in 2009.

Washbourne, 40, has previous convictions for offences of false imprisonment and violence against a person, police said. Avon and Somerset Police said Armstrong was arrested near Henley-in-Arden train station by Warwickshire Police just before midday following a sighting reported by a member of the public.
