A former Plymouth man jailed for life for killing his aunt has been recaptured in Australia after 15 years on the run.
Simon Hennessey was arrested by detectives in Queensland investigating credit card fraud.
He was 14 when he pleaded guilty to killing his elderly aunt in 1978 on the grounds that he was mentally ill.
He was serving a life sentence when he absconded from Leyhill Open Prison in South Gloucestershire in 1998.
Credit card scamAustralian detectives believe Hennessey had moved between Thailand, New Zealand and Queensland during his time on the run, using false identities.
He was arrested on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane by officers investigating a sophisticated credit card scam.
Initially, Australian police had no idea their suspect was a wanted man 10,000 miles away in the UK. He had told investigators he was a New Zealander.
He faces a jail sentence if he is convicted of serious fraud offences - or he could be extradited to the UK.
Hennessey is expected to appear in court again in Queensland next month.
Avon and Somerset Police, which had been looking for Hennessey since he absconded, said it was "in touch with authorities in Queensland to begin what we hope will be extradition proceedings".
