Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Aug, 2019 07:53 PM

    FREDERICTON - A convicted murderer who failed to return to a Moncton halfway house last week remains missing, and documents show he had been unlawfully at large twice in the past.

     

    The Correctional Service of Canada says 66-year-old Jack Woods was serving an indeterminate sentence at Dorchester Penitentiary for manslaughter and second-degree murder.

     

    He was on a 72-hour unescorted absence when he didn't return last Thursday.

     

    According to a Parole Board decision in May, Woods was unlawfully at large for five months in 2010 and again for two months after being granted day parole in 2012.

     

    Woods stands 5-7, weighs 223 pounds and has a fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. He is missing both of his little fingers.

     

    A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
