A cold-blooded killer has been arrested after finally returning to the UK - 18 months after stabbing a teenager to death on a night out.
Police have today released video footage showing officers waiting on the tarmac as Thomas Dures, 22, landed back on British soil in January, ending a months-long manhunt that stretched across Europe.
Dures had spent 18 months on the run after brutally stabbing 19-year-old Matthew Daulby to death during a night out in Ormskirk, Lancashire, in July 2023.
Matthew, who was out with friends, suffered a fatal stab wound to the chest after a sudden and shocking street attack in the early hours of the morning. Another man was also stabbed during the violence.
Despite desperate efforts by paramedics, Matthew was later pronounced dead in hospital. A Home Office post-mortem confirmed he had died from a single stab wound.
