Injured escaped convict back in custody

AN escaped convict who suffered a broken ankle and shinbone after jumping from the third floor of a hospital window was expected to be back in custody last night.

Thomas Connors, aged 26, was expected to return voluntarily to Wheatfield Prison in the company of investigating gardaí.

Earlier yesterday, Connors claimed he had escaped after a notorious criminal had put a €10,000 contract out on his life.
