These criminals hatched plans to go on the run from the law, sending shockwaves through Liverpool
With the arrest of former gang leader Daniel Gee hitting the headlines this week, we decided to look at some other recent cases of prisoners escaping or absconding from jail.
Shaun Walmsley The convicted murderer escaped police prison guards' custody on February 21 2017 and became one of the UK's most wanted men after he vanished into the underworld. Prison examinations could not find anything wrong with Walmsley, but his repeated complaints, combined with his weight loss led the convicted murderer to be taken to Aintree Hospital from HMP Liverpool.But it was during this trip that his henchmen armed with a Uzi-type submachine gun, ambushed the prison officers.
The convicted murderer is now a Category A prisoner being held under far more stringent conditions. The earliest date he can apply for parole in January 2051, when he will be 63. One of the guards was beaten in the street while a gang member shouted at the driver: “Get the f****** keys out or I will blow your f****** head off."Downes and Bradley were on remand at HMP Manchester after being accused of presiding over a wave of contract violence across Merseyside.
Daniel Gee The most recent case on this list involves a Liverpool gangster who turned his own estate into a 24 hour drug trading zone. On May 27 this year, Gee absconded from a category D open prison - Kirklevington Grange prison in North Yorkshire. However, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed to the ECHO last week that Gee has been sentenced to four months concurrent to his Imprisonment for Public Protection sentence at court on June 26.
Lewis Aspinwall was serving six years for the large-scale operation to flood Anfield with 88 per cent high purity of the Class A drug, in a scheme that extended from Lancashire to Devon. The south Liverpool man pleaded guilty to a single charge of escape and was handed a nine month sentence.
