Prior to his death, he made repeated attempts to flee custody but was caught by police each time. In April 1993, Glasgow Live reports he absconded while on escorted leave in Edinburgh city centre. Three months into his stay at Castle Huntly, he failed to return to the Longforgan jail after being given permission for a home visit. At the time, police launched an appeal to trace the killer, revealing he had known links to Glasgow, Manchester, Sussex, and London.
