    Not the first time he went on the run either...........
    Derek Brockwell (51) had been serving a life sentence for a series of armed robberies, mainly from betting shops in the London area.
    But he was granted day release from Kirkham Prison in Preston, Lancashire, to take part in a work-placement programme in Blackpool.
    But he never showed up for work and has been on the run for the past eight months.
    The day after his escape he became the prime suspect for an attempted robbery at a NatWest bank in Lytham St Annes.

    He was one of Britain's most wanted because he absconded when he was on day release. I doubt he'd have been on day release at all if he was considered one of the most violent criminals in the UK.

    Although obviously he is violent.

    If you had to get stabbed, you'd want to be in a hospital!! Every cloud :P

    In all seriousness, I wish him the best. Not the smartest move from the prisoner, he was in for armed robbery and now he's just added a lot more time to his sentence when he's caught.

    It's actually both prison officers who were stabbed :( One in the arm and one in the stomach.

    Sounds like your man had it planned

    I wonder what he was doing in hospital, was it self inflicted and planned that far in advance. Probably!

    That child alert system should be used for informing the public about it.

    At that guys age would there not be much better pictures of him like the one they take when a prisoner is first admitted to prison?

    If he's not caught by the morning what's the odds Paul Williams will have written a book about him at that stage.

    Paul Murphy was arrested by prison officers? No wonder he's whinging.

    Why did 6 prison officers grab Paul Murphy?

    Ah, I see "officers" is the same regardless of where its used? Maybe they should have sent 6 army officers?
    Maybe Paul and his couple of hundred mates to took to hold on to one woman could keep hold of the prisoner?


    Anywho, 1 guy could have kept him under control if he wasn't let out of the cuffs...................

    There were three with him

    From what I remember of them in the hospital in Portlaoise usually one guy would be handcuffed to the prisoner and the other two escorting, obviously took off the handcuffs here

    And people say the judicial system here is fcuked up

    How on earth can 22 life sentences be the equivalent of 13 years imprisonment? What's the point in that like?!

    Diabeties Clinic apparently so that theory bites the dust!! Was def planned in advance though seeing as there was a bike waiting for him - that guy no doubt provided the knife as well.

    You sad f *ck..

    A Prison Officer is in a very serious condition after being stabbed, a scumbag like this is on the loose and liable to harm anyone else that stands in his way and that's what you come up with???

    Same mindset obviously.
