- By Douglas Dickie

A CONVICTED killer is back behind bars after being found in Edinburgh following his escape from prison.

Raymond McCourt absconded from HMP Castle Huntly in Perthshire earlier this week, sparking a huge manhunt.

He was spotted on CCTV in Glasgow but was eventually caught in the capital, in London Road, yesterday morning.

Police Scotland said in a statement: “Officers in Edinburgh have located convicted prisoner, Raymond McCourt, who was reported missing on Tuesday, 22 April, 2025, after failing to return to HMP Castle Huntly. The 59-year-old man was detained by officers in London Road this morning, Friday, 25 April 2025.
