Gardaí seeking court escapee

GARDAÍ were last night trying to track down a prisoner who managed to slip his handcuffs while being brought to a vacation sitting of Limerick District Court.

The prisoner, named as Martin Morey, aged 19, with an address at Russell House, Broad Street, Limerick had been arrested on foot of a bench warrant and faced several charges.

When his case was called in court, Insp Jerry Horan told Judge Aeneas McCarthy that accuse was unlawfully at large, having escaped from custody.
