Former aide to Sarah Ferguson escapes minimum security jail

Crime doesn’t get much more English than this. Jane Andrews, a long-time personal assistant to Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has escaped from prison. The 40-year-old is serving a life sentence for the 2001 murder of her boyfriend, a wealthy businessman whom she whacked across the head with a cricket bat, then stabbed through the chest with a kitchen knife. (He had apparently refused to marry her.) Andrews walked away from a minimum security jail in Maidenstone, Kent sometime yesterday. Where’s Miss Marple when you need her?
