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 Gloucestershire in 1998.

Credit card scam

Australian 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 that 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 Britain.

Hennessey is expected to reappear in court in Queensland next month.
