Keith Flynn is edging towards freedom after the convicted fraudster was moved to Shelton Abbey open prison in recent days, less than a year into his four-year jail sentence.

The former solicitor, 46, was jailed last February along with his wife, 37-year-old Lyndsey Clarke, having pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud.
