Killer Darren Jackson absconds prison in Derbyshire

Jackson, orginally from Burnley, was jailed for life in 1986 for the murder of mother of three Gill Ellis (29), who he stamped to death in December, 1984, after she was robbed on her way home from a Chistmas party in Burnley.

The criminal was later released, but recalled back to prison and was serving part of his sentence in the Category D men’s open prison in Sudbury.

He fled from HMP Sudbury in Derbyshire on Tuesday (13 September) morning and police are now appealing for information on his whereabouts.

Police have described him as white, 6ft 4ins tall, slim, with short cropped grey hair and a tattoo on his wrist.

A CONVICTED murderer, whose last known address was Oldham, is on the run from prison.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: “Public protection is our top priority”.

“Those who do abscond are returned to much tougher, closed prisons where they will have to serve additional time”.

She died after her main blood vessel to her heart was torn, her pancreas split and ribs fractured, the Lancashire Telegraph reported.

The jury was told her liver had “virtually exploded” and her injuries were the same as if she had fallen from a 12-storey building.

Jackson, then 21, denied murder but admitted stealing a shoe, watch and make-up bag.
