A convicted murderer who went on-the-run in the North has been recaptured.
Samuel McKinley absconded while on day release at Maghaberry jail in County Antrim on Thursday.
The 57-year-old - who's believed to have escaped 5 times before - has been detained in Belfast.
The third disappearance took place in December 2014, just days after his sons Jonathan and Sam were jailed for at least 28 years for the murder of newsagent Choudhry Zishan.
