Motorists collared in a trap

HOW TEEN TORTURE SUSPECT MIGHT LOOK NOW

- ■ ■Gerard COUZENS

GARDAI caught 10 drivers speeding past the same checkpoint as they cast a net over rogue road users.

Officers clocked the motorists going over the 80km/ h speed limit in Newbridge, Co Kildare.

Gardai handed out an €80 fine and three penalty points for each of the drivers in breach of the rules on Wednesday.

A spokesman said: “Naas Roads Policing Unit detected 10 motorists exceeding the speed limit.”

And it came after Naas Roads Policing Unit also arrested a motorist who tested positive for cocaine and cannabis.

Officers later arrested the individual.

THIS is the digitally enhanced photo showing what a suspected serial killer said to have been last seen on a container ship off the coast of Ireland could look like now.

The picture, created by experts who carried out a facial reconstruc­tion of fugitive Antonio Angles, is expected to be used by police as part of a new worldwide appeal to find one of Spain’s most wanted men “dead or alive”.

The November 1992 kidnap, rape, torture and murders of Miriam Garcia (14); Desire Hernandez (14); and Antonia Gamez (15) were revisited in 2019 in a Netflix documentar­y called The Alcasser Murders.

Their bodies were found 75 days after they vanished from their home village of Alcasser.

Miguel Ricart served 21 years in jail for the hideous crimes but alleged accomplice Angles fled Spain and was last seen on container ship City of

Plymouth in March 1993 after stowing away on board before it left Lisbon for Dublin.

Escape

Retired UK-based sea captain Kenneth Farquharso­n Stevens told a Spanish TV crew just over three years ago that Angles must have had help to escape.

It emerged earlier this month Spanish police were preparing a new internatio­nal appeal for informatio­n on Angles, who was 26 when he vanished and would now be 55.

Respected Valencian-based daily newspa per Las Provincias published the photos which a judge in Alzira near Valencia probing the savage crimes Angles is accused of, has reportedly sent to police.

One picture shows him aged 40 and another aged 60.

They are understood to have been created by two experts at a London-based forensic science training institute, named by Las Provincias as Ricardo Ortega Ruiz and Noelia Medina Sanchez using skills including “collage” techniques and photo retouching. British-based M r Farquharso­n insisted Spain’s most wanted man, also one of Interpol’s most wanted, had been locked in a secure cabin after being discovered on board and making a f ailed escape bid b efore police boarded the ship in Dublin and found it empty.

Impossible

He H told the two investigat­ive journalist­s jou who interviewe­d him for a programme on Spanish Sp TV channel La Sexta: “It was impossible for him to open ope the door from inside.”

Revealing R police in the UK had ha later told him they believed bel one of his crew had helped hel Angles escape, he said when wh he was shown a list of the crew members and quizzed qui on who he suspected: “I cannot accuse anyone without proof.”
