POLICE in Northern Ireland are appealing for information on a Limerick man who is unlawfully at large after absconding while on temporary release.
36-year-old Shane Frane, originally from Limerick, was convicted of the manslaughter of Constable Philippa Reynolds in 2014 after a fatal road traffic collision.
According to a statement from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Mr Frane has “breached the conditions of his temporary prison release by absconding from the Northern Ireland Prison Service.”
Mr Frane is described as being 6′ 3”, of medium build, with blue eyes and a left eye disfigurement. He also has tattoos on his upper right arm and has fair hair.
PSNI officers fear Mr Frane may have travelled to the Republic of Ireland.
“Despite attempts to arrest Frane, police have been unable to locate him. He may have travelled to the Republic of Ireland,” the PSNI statement said.
The PSNI are appealing to anyone who may have seen Mr Frane or knows of his whereabouts not to approach him but to make contact with police on 101/999.
“Police would also appeal directly to him to hand himself in,” the PSNI statement read.
