"Paul Flint was sent to prison in 1990 after being found guilty of murdering the occupant of a house he was burgling in Islington in 1989."
"Once Flint realised that he was about to be arrested he tried to escape by climbing out of a side-window and assaulting the police officer who was attempting to arrest him."
From the current escape: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-23693031
"He is wanted in connection with two burglaries in Hove, on 8 and 15 July, and one in Brighton, on 5 August, Sussex Police said. "
Anyone who finds him burgling their house can be VERY thankful he's been "rigorously risk assessed and categorised as being of low risk to the public".
That's not the story I sent you, it was this one.
ReplyDeleteYeah! It was *me* who sent you that one!
ReplyDeleteI'm devastated. This will undermine my self-esteem. I want compensation.
From the Beeb report & photo:
ReplyDelete"Flint is described as black, "
No wonder they have difficulty finding him. He sure ain't RAL9005

Yikes! You're right - sorry! The perils of having too many open browser tabs and emails at once!
ReplyDelete"Sussex Police have warned the public not to approach Flint but to call 999"
ReplyDeleteOh...THAT low a risk, eh?
Don't worry- the risk to the public was minimal.
ReplyDeleteWell, acceptable.
Well, acceptable to the authorities.

Who, you'll note, never risk anything. Certainly not even censure...
