 A man has been charged with the shooting murder of escaped prisoner Nicholas Scott outside a home north of Hobart on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old remains in custody and will appear before the Hobart Magistrates Court at a later time.

Scott, 26, absconded from prison custody while being treated at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) on Monday night, and police later discovered his body outside a house in Granton after responding to a report of a gunshot.

Inside the house, they found a man with non-life-threatening injuries who was taken to the RHH for treatment.
