A killer serving a life sentence for battering a woman with a brick and raping her in a graveyard has been recaptured after he absconded from prison.
Keith Whitehouse, who killed and raped 21-year-old Suzanne Bromiley while on leave from a 30-month kidnapping sentence in 1991, failed to appear for a roll call at Leyhill open prison in south Gloucestershire on Saturday evening.
However, Avon & Somerset Police tweeted on Sunday morning to say he had been arrested by officers in Gloucestershire.
It is the second time the 56-year-old has absconded from prison, having killed Ms Bromiley during five-days' leave from Risley jail in Warrington.
Whitehouse - who was known to have a psychopathic personality disorder - also stabbed his victim in the head after meeting her at a day centre for unemployed people in Brighton.
Nobody had looked for him during his absence from jail until he killed Ms Bromiley - more than four months after he had gone missing.
He was handed a life sentence for manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
