Child Killer Alan Giles Found After Manhunt

Child killer Alan Giles, who has been on the run since last week, has been captured by police.

The 56-year-old walked out of an open section of HMP Hewell in Worcestershire on October 28 while serving life for the 1995 kidnap and murder of a 16-year-old student.

West Mercia Police said he was found in the Gunnings Road area of Alcester, Warwickshire, after a call from a member of the public who believed they had spotted him just after 6pm.

Police flooded the area with officers and although the murderer initially ran off, he was quickly caught and taken into custody in Redditch.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Judge said: "We are very pleased to have tracked down Mr Giles as the search for him has taken up an enormous amount of our time and resources over the past ten days.

"As we always suspected, a tip-off from a member of the public was key to us bringing Mr Giles back into custody tonight and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has come forward with information to help our investigation.

"We have been really impressed by the amount of information that has come in and how keen people have been to help us with our inquiries."

Last week, police made a direct appeal to Giles, who is eligible to apply for parole next year, to hand himself in.

Giles, originally from the Quinton, near Birmingham, was jailed for 19 years for killing Kevin Ricketts.

The 16-year-old's body was not found until 1998, after Giles asked to speak to West Midlands Police while serving his sentence.
