High Court orders extradition of murderer to UK

The High Court has made an order for the extradition to the UK of a convicted murderer, who was recently released from prison here after serving a sentence for rape of a young female tourist.

Mark Trayton Smith (aged 47), a native of Cheltenham, England today consented to the making of an order for his return to the UK where he is wanted for breaching the conditions of a licence for his early release from a British prison, having served some 13 years of a life sentence imposed for murder.
