He was later moved to Ford Prison and left there on day release on June 19, 2010. He did not return and officers have been unable to trace him since.

PC Steve Reed said: “We have been looking for Donovan for several years without success which suggests he has left Sussex and could be elsewhere in the country.
“We need to speak to anyone who could have any idea where he is or where he could be.
“There is nothing to suggest that Donovan is currently a danger to the public but he has not served his sentence so we want to get him back into custody so justice can be done.”
