A convicted killer with a "born to raise hell" tattoo on his neck is being hunted by police after fleeing prison.
John Potter has absconded from HMP Sudbury in Derbyshire where he is serving a life sentence for murder, police said.
He was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court in 2008 after reportedly stabbing to death his flatmate, father-of-two John Hudson, in a frenzied attack during a drinking session.
Derbyshire Police said Potter has a large number of tattoos, including the words "Debbie" and pictures of a swallow and a devil.
He also has a distinctive tattoo of a panther on his right hand.
Potter is described as white, bald, clean shaven, with blue eyes and of stocky build.
His last known address is in Newcastle upon Tyne.
