Vincent Palmer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vincent Palmer (1966 – 2004) was a notorious British criminal who during the 1990s became the most wanted fugitive in the midlands after a bungled armed robbery at a post office. He absconded from Birmingham Crown Court at his trial in 1997 and was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment in his absence. He was finally arrested on 6 January 2004, after seven years on the run, but committed suicide after 16 days in his cell at Woodhill Prison.
