Roy Greenslade reports on a story de nos jours:

A fugitive in hiding after absconding from prison has emailed his local paper to complain about its "biased" coverage. Derek Watson, sentenced to five years' jail last year on 25 charges of fraud, claimed that the Dundee Courier's report of his failure to return to Castle Huntly open prison after a week-long release was untrue.
