A former Stephen Lawrence murder suspect escaped to Spain hidden in the back of a car with an encrypted phone while wanted for a £2.1million drugs plot, a court has heard.

Jamie Acourt, 44, spent more than two years on the run in Barcelona where he claimed to have worked as a barman, personal trainer and odd job man.
