In an odd use of the social network device Facebook, an escaped prisoner is taunting police by placing photos of his Christmas on the popular website.
Craig Lynch aged 28, even added a few photos on the website of himself wrapped up in tinsel holding a turkey while making a rude gesture to the camera, and presumably the police.
Lynch escaped from the Suffolk Hollesley Bay Prison back in September of this year, but instead of hiding from police who are looking for him, he spends his time regularly letting them know what he is doing on Facebook.
Over Christmas he posted a few photos with captions that said things such as he could not believe he was still free, and that the fact that he is holding a turkey is proof that he is free.
At one point Lynch even posted that he thought he was caught when he heard sirens outside of his home, but it turned out that the noise came from an ambulance that was called to a neighbour’s house.
Sunday he updated his status saying that it was cold out where he was hiding, and that he was not sure if he would make it up until the summer.
Lynch had almost completed a seven year sentence when he escaped on September 23rd from the open prison.
According to his Facebook, he plans to spend New Year’s Eve eating 12lb steaks and at a party in Suffolk.
