A man wanted in connection with two brutal murders almost 20 years ago is among the 25 people currently on the National Crime Agency’s (NCA) most wanted list. Also on the list are men convicted over plots to smuggle drugs into the UK and a man who has been on the run since 2008 after being convicted of rape.
All of the people pictured are on the agency’s most wanted list, as of December 2022. Among those the NCA is looking for is Derek ‘Deco’ Ferguson who is wanted in connection with the murder of Thomas Cameron, it is believed he could be in Spain.
Meanwhile, Kevin Parle, is also wanted by the authorities in connection with two shocking murders in Merseyside, that of Liam Kelly, 16 in 2004 and Lucy Hargreaves, 22, 2005.
Also being sought by the NCA is Richard Wakeling who was found guilty in his absence of a plot to smuggle £8million of liquid amphetamine into the UK.
And Jonathon Kelly who was jailed for a series of offences including leaving someone paralysed after attacking them with a machete has been on the run for years after he broke bail conditions after being released on licence from jail.
Members of the public are urged not to go near these people and, if they should spot a fugitive, the information is to call your local police, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
