Michael Swansborough is being sought in connection to his recall to prison. He also threatened to “screen a real-life Hunted” on Instagram Live, referring to Channel 4’s fugitives program.
Kent Police has issued an appeal via social media for information last week in order to locate the suspect.

The comment received hundreds of likes, while the fugitive even had the audacity to like other people’s replies.
Police say he has links to Ashford, Thanet and Canterbury.

Swansborough (19 years old) was sentenced in June 2009 to an indeterminate term of imprisonment after pleading guilty for the attempted murder a teenage girl.
