Wanted man Joseph Bagley arrested & recalled to prison

Bagley, who is 66 years old, has breached the terms of his licence. He was jailed in 1978 for the murder of a taxi driver. In January this year he was released from prison on a supervised life licence. He was living at approved premises in Maidstone, Kent, but failed to return for his curfew during the evening of Sunday 12 May. He has not been seen since. 

Joseph Bagley is believed to have links to the Kent, Surrey and Buckinghamshire areas – and also Scotland. 

He is described as white, with blue eyes and grey hair. He is approximately 5 foot 11 inches tall and of medium build. He has a memorial tattoo on his left arm and a scar on one of the fingers on his right hand. 

It is likely that Bagley has changed his appearance which is why a forensic artist has produced images of what he might look like with different hair or no moustache. 

"We believe everyone has the right to feel safe from crime, whether at home, in the workplace or when out and about.
