Serial rapist ‘was left at large’

A SERIAL rapist, who is serving life for the murder of a teenager, was left at large by police, prosecutors and the courts, according to a new documentary to be screened tonight.

The UTV Insight programme raises fresh and disturbing allegations about the life and crimes of Robert Howard, and how he evaded prison.

Howard, serving life for the murder of a teenage girl in England, was acquitted of killing Arlene Arkinson, the Tyrone girl who vanished in 1994 and whose body has never been found.
