A convicted murderer in Northern Ireland who has been on the run for over two years has been arrested by gardai. 

56-year-old Thomas McCabe was released from prison on licence, however following a number of breaches his licence was revoked in January 2018. 

He had been unlawfully at large since then. 

McCabe was jailed for the murder of a teenager in London. 

In June, the Crimestoppers charity offered a reward of up to £5,000 for information leading to Thomas McCabe's arrest. 

Last night (Wednesday 26th August), the PSNI released a statement saying, "Unlawfully at large 56 year old Thomas McCabe has been arrested by An Garda Siochana and remains in custody at this time. 

"We would like to thank those members of the public who responded to our appeals for information."
