Sean Megaw: convicted prisoner unlawfully at large after attending funeral is arrested

Sean Megaw, aged 35, was sentenced for attempted grievous bodily harm with intent earlier this year.

He was on compassionate release from jail to attend a funeral on Saturday, August 26 but failed to return to jail.

Police issued an appeal late on Sunday night in a bid to locate the prisoner, asking anyone who had seen him, or who knew of his whereabouts, to get in touch.

They now have confirmed that Megaw had been arrested at an address in Belfast and is in police detention.
