Man, 31, found hanged in prison
A man serving a five-year prison sentence for robbery has been found hanged in his cell at Armley jail in Leeds, the Prison Service has revealed.

Paramedics were called to the segregation unit of the jail where 31-year-old Robert Hartley was found hanging from bedding in a window.

Mr Roberts was pronounced dead at Leeds General Infirmary late on Saturday.

The Prison Service said he had been convicted at Leeds Crown Court in December last year.
