UK drops extradition bid for IRA escapees
British authorities have dropped plans to extradite two IRA men who escaped from London’s Brixton prison 18 years ago, it was confirmed today.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it was no longer preparing a case against Pearse McAuley, who was freed from jail today after serving 10 years for killing Detective Garda Jerry McCabe during a robbery 13 years ago, and Nessan Quinlivan.
