A Scots fugitive is among ten most wanted criminals believed to be hiding in Spain, police have said. 

Jonathan Kelly, 36, from Glasgow, who was released from Low Moss Prison, went on the run in August 2014 when he failed to meet police and social work staff. 

Kelly is wanted for a string of violent crimes including a machete attack that left his victim paralysed. 

Police believe his criminal associates may be helping him hide in Spain. 

British and Spainish police released the list at a joint conference in Malaga. 

Jamie Acourt, 40, from south-east London, was one of the suspects in the investigation into the racist murder of 18-year-old Stephen Lawerence, Shane O'Brien, 28, accused of knifing a 21-year-old to death and Sarah Panitzke, 42, who laundered £1bn in a tax scam are also on the list. 

Steve Reynolds, Head of International Operations for the National Crime Agency, said: "The fugitives we are hunting are wanted for serious crimes and must be returned to the UK to face justice. We need the support of the public to help us catch them. Be our eyes and ears and tell us if you have any information on the whereabouts of our targets."

Chairman of Crimestoppers Lord Ashcroft said: "These people have managed to evade arrest and avoid justice. We know that with the help of Spanish authorities, along with the public in Spain and the UK, we can find these people."
