Former Republican paramilitary Declan "Whacker" Duffy is to be extradited back across the border to continue serving his life sentence for murder, following the completion of a domestic sentence for false imprisonment.

Duffy (44), with a last address at Hannover Street West in Dublin, had been serving a term of life imprisonment for the murder of British army sergeant Michael Newman in Derby City in 1992 when he was released on license by a Northern Irish parole board in March 2013.
