MANHUNT -Prison Escape; Inmate Escaped While on a Hospital Visit From UK HMP Wormwood

Police have launched a manhunt after a prisoner escaped while on a hospital visit from UK HMP Wormwood Scrubs...


AP 19 JUL 2024





A prisoner absconded from custody in west London after being taken out for a hospital trip.

Graham Gomm, 63, was taken to Hammersmith Hospital by prison staff yesterday after becoming unwell. He had been on remand for burglary offences at HMP Wormwood Scrubs.




It is the second time in three years that a prisoner has gone on the run from HMP Wormwood Scrubs during a medical visit – in 2021 Manray Woolfall also slipped past his guards during a trip to hospital.

It comes as Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary, has had to introduce an early release scheme that will see 5,500 prisoners freed 40 per cent of the way through their sentences, rather than halfway, in order to ease the prison overcrowding crisis.

In a statement, the Met said: “Police were alerted at around 01:18 hrs on Thursday, 18 July that Gomm had absconded. He was last seen wearing a grey T-shirt and grey tracksuit.

“Detectives are also concerned for Gomm’s welfare as he was undergoing medical care before he escaped. There is nothing to suggest that Gomm is a threat to the public.
