More than 500 police officers from 12 forces had searched for Hobson.
Possible sightings came from as far away as New Zealand.

Hobson spent six days living rough under a hedge before his arrest.

Police arrested Hobson after he was recognised buying matches at a North Yorkshire filling station.

Hobson was treated for dehydration after his capture and was then questioned by police.

The victims

Twins Diane (left) and Claire Sanderson were battered by Hobson.

Leeds Crown Court heard the murders of Claire Sanderson, 27,
and her sister Diane were 'horrific and chilling'.

James and Joan Britton had both been stabbed in the back.

Police said it was still not clear why Hobson killed the Brittons, who had
no apparent connection to the Sandersons.
