A wanted convicted murderer is still on the run from police almost two months after they appealed for help to track him down.
The M.E.N previously revealed he was only recently released from jail after serving a 10-year stint for the murder of Simon Mitchell in 2013. Lomax killed his victim, a complete stranger, with one punch.He was just 17 at the time. In an update issued today , a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson confirmed that Lomax is still wanted - almost two months on from the initial appeal.
The victim, 43-year-old Mr Mitchell, had been in low spirits after losing his job as a forklift truck driver and had been given £200 by his brother so he could go out and have a good time on the day he died. After leaving the Balmoral pub in Bradshawgate, Mr Mitchell began chatting to Lomax and his friends in a chance encounter near Bolton Town Hall.
He then went to a friend’s house, where he spent the rest of the night drinking and playing computer games. The court was told how Mr Mitchell was the third person Lomax had attacked in seven days that he 'didn’t know from Adam'.
