Tyne Tees Gateshead

Fugitive killer Lee Nevins, from Gateshead, has been on the run since Tuesday 27 September after failing to return to an open prison in Derbyshire.

Errol Livingstone, 57, lost £88 from his £319 monthly payment, which he said caused extreme hardship as the cost of living was already straining his budget.

Lee Nevins first escaped from prison in 2008 following a life sentence for the murder of disabled man Lee Jobling in 2006.
