Killer on the run after being freed on licence

A jailed killer who ran a woman over after she tried to stop him stealing her handbag is on the run after being released on licence.

Mark Woolley, 52, given a life sentence in 2001 for the killing of costume designer Elizabeth Sherlock, has not been seen since a probation meeting on Jan 31, Scotland Yard said.

The former heroin addict was released from HMP Ranby in Nottinghamshire in November.
