Police have launched a manhunt for two missing prisoners who were both convicted of murder. Alison McDonagh, 49, and Stephen McParland, 54, were spotted together at Lanyon Place station in Belfast after absconding from the prison service.
They were seen at the railway station around 1.45pm on Saturday, and police say they believe the pair are still together. McDonagh was imprisoned for murder following an incident in 2004, and McParland was imprisoned for murder following an incident in 1997.
McDonagh is described as being 5ft 2in tall, of stocky build with auburn hair and green eyes. She has two tattoos including the words “mum” and “dad” on the underside of her right forearm. She was last seen wearing a sky blue coloured puffa jacket and light-coloured leggings, carrying a bag for life and pulling a trolley bag.
