Another prisoner has absconded from Sudbury Open Prison in Derbyshire - the sixth convicted killer to leave the jail in six months.

Police confirmed David Robert Chapman, 55, failed to return to the category D jail on Tuesday.

Chapman, whose last known address was Newington Green, London, was sentenced to life at the Old Bailey in October 1983 for murder.

More than 660 inmates have walked out of Sudbury in the past 10 years.

Chapman uses the alias names Aubery Ashby and Ashby Aubery.

He is described as white, 5ft 8in tall, of thin build, short grey hair with brown eyes and has a tattoo on his left arm.

The Prison Service has said that due to the nature of an open prison, it could never guarantee that inmates would not abscond from jails such as Sudbury.
