The family of a West Suffolk grandfather, who was behind bars after holding up a jewellery store with a fake gun, has thanked prison and medical staff for their second to none care before his death.
Lee Devereux passed away in September last year while receiving palliative care at the St Nicholas Hospice in Bury St Edmunds for liver cancer diagnosed in January 2020.
Formerly from Long Melford, he absconded from Hollesley Bay open prison in 2013, but handed himself in a few days later and was at HMP Highpoint in Stradishall for his final years.
