"A convicted murderer is one of two inmates who remain at large after absconding from a 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, in South Gloucestershire, between 5pm and 8pm on Thursday."
"Two prisoners have absconded from HMP Leyhill and we want to hear from anyone who has information around their whereabouts, police said. The pair are not originally from Avon and Somerset and have links to various parts of the country. Armstrong is described as a white male about five feet and nine inches tall, with ginger hair and scars on his forehead."
