Another inmate flees from open jail

A murderer is on the run from an open prison - hours after a major political row involving another inmate who fled from the same jail.

Tayside Police revealed they were searching for 57-year-old John Brown after he failed to return to Castle Huntly open prison near Dundee on Wednesday.

His disappearance comes days after another prisoner Brian Martin - nicknamed The Hawk - handed himself into police after going on the run from the same jail.
