David Livingston was serving a sentence for first-degree murder when he walked away from a farm annex of the Bowden prison. (RCMP)A murderer who escaped from the Bowden Institution near Calgary made it as far as Saskatchewan, where he turned himself in Friday morning.
David Livingston, 61, showed up at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert, where he was still being held Friday afternoon.
Livingston walked away from a minimum-security farm annex Tuesday night, 100 kilometres north of Calgary. When he escaped, RCMP said he was considered to be a "low public risk safety concern."
Livingston was serving his time on a working farm and living in a house on the property that's adjacent to the Bowden prison.
The Innisfail RCMP conducted an immediate search of the area, but Livingston, who is originally from the Winnipeg area, could not be found.
Livingston was convicted of first-degree murder for shooting his ex-girlfriend, Eileen Marchinko, 33, in the forehead as she walked up to the front door of her home in March 1983.
