Murderer Carl Hyde arrested after absconding from Peterborough

A two-day hunt for a convicted murderer who absconded from an approved address has ended with his arrest.

Carl Hyde, 67, was jailed for fatally stabbing a pensioner in 1988, it has been reported.

He had been released from prison on licence and had disappeared from where he was living in Peterborough.

Cambridgeshire Police issued a public appeal to help locate him on Wednesday, and said he had been found in London on Thursday evening.

During the hunt, police advised that he should not be approached by members of the public.
