Robert Boyer was convicted of murdering Keith Frogson in the village of Annesley Woodhouse, near Nottingham in 2004. After killing Frogson, Boyer then went on to hide in a near-by forest for months, escaping many man-hunts and police searches. He returned at night to his local village to buy take-away food, and top up his food reserves. On one occasion, he set fire to Frogson's house, while his daughter Rachel was still inside. However, he was later found in a foxhole filled with cans of food, and arrested by police.
After being found guilty in May 2005, Boyer was diagnosed as suffering from a delusional mental illness.
