Convicted Killer Walks Out Of South Wales Prison
A 26-year-old man who murdered a good Samaritan in a knife attack has gone on the run from prison.
Brian Grady, also known as Brian Revill, was jailed for life in 2003 for the murder of 25-year-old Liam Attwell. Grady was 17 at the time of his conviction.
Grady walked out of HMP Prescoed at Usk, in south Wales, on Monday and failed to return. The prison is a minimum-security establishment that usually houses inmates who have just a few months of their sentences to serve.
Police have asked the public to keep a look out for Grady but say that he could be a danger and should not be approached.
Gwent police believe he could be in the Bristol area, where he has family and other contacts.
A police spokesman said: "We have activated our operational plan with the aim of locating him, and the prison is co-operating fully with us.
"It is believed there may be a potential risk to the public due to the fact that he is no longer in the custody of the prison service."
Grady is described as white, 5ft 11in, of average build, with short, light brown hair and blue eyes. He has a scar under his left eye and speaks with a Bristol accent.
