Prisoner who posted to Facebook while on the run is back in custody

Jason Frayne has been on the run since escaping from Ennis District Court on Wednesday.

Updated 11pm

A MAN WHO had updated his Facebook profile while on the run from gardaí has been recaptured, the Irish Prison Service has confirmed.

The man handed himself back to authorities and has been returned to Limerick Prison.

Jason Frayne, 22, had escaped from Ennis Disctrict Court on Wednesday last week when he left through the back door of the court house.

On Friday, he posted two photos of himself wearing an Adidas tracksuit to his Facebook page, under which one of his friends on the site wrote, “U never fail to surprise me stay off tis pal !!!”

Last Thursday he wrote online, “Who else is out today haha” after changing his profile picture.

It is being reported by the Limerick Leader that Frayne escaped with another inmate after having his case dealt with at the court.

The other man, Keith Garrihy, 18, was recaptured as short time after.

Frayne is reported as having 46 previous convictions.

    Two middle-class guys with plastic bags on their heads who put on a flat Limerick scobe accent and post absolute populist bullsh!t on social media. I look forward to not watching it.

    I know the whole act is silly but they are actually very intelligent lads. Read a very good book about our consciousness’ relationship with the quantum world called Biocentrism which was recommended by Blind Boy. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.

    Does anyone else feel this is being used as a joke on us the Irish, instead of a pig under the arm it is shopping bags over the face??? Who will sponsor the bags then in the U.K.?

    Very interested to see the documentary of 1916 rising, both these lads are highly educated and hopefully they do an insightful program that will engage with some who might not previously had a huge interest in the history of this country
