Manhunt in Northern Ireland continues for convicted murderer

A convicted murderer is on the run in Northern Ireland.

Officers are searching for David McCord who was in police custody when he disappeared in Belfast on Friday.

David McCord is serving a life sentence after he was convicted of murder in 2003.

He was in the custody of prison staff at a property in the Crumlin Road area of Belfast last Friday.

He was last seen on the Castlereagh Road at around 4:30 that afternoon – and was wearing a green jacket, black tracksuit bottoms and was carrying a red carrier bag.

The PSNI is appealing to anyone who has seen Mr McCord to contact them, while they are also appealing directly to him to hand himself in.
