MONTREAL — Correctional Service Canada says a 69-year-old convicted murderer has escaped from a prison in Quebec’s Laurentians area.

Staff discovered late Saturday that Lori Bill Germa was not present during an inmate count at the minimum-security unit of Archambault Institution, where he is serving a first-degree murder sentence.

Germa is 5’10, weighs 166 pounds and is bald with light skin and brown eyes.

He also has a tattoo of a sword with the name “Carol” on one arm, and two seahorses and two dragons on the other.
