Surrey Police ask for help tracing whereabouts of taxi driver murderer

Surrey Police are still appealing for help to trace Joseph Bagley, 66, who has breached the terms of his licence. He was jailed in 1978 after a conviction for the murder of a taxi driver. In January this year he was released from prison on a supervised life licence. He has been living in Maidstone, but failed to turn up for his curfew on Sunday 12 May and has not been seen since. He was last seen in Maidstone on Sunday morning.

Joseph Bagley is described as white, with blue eyes and grey hair. He is approximately 5ft 11 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.

Surrey police believe there to be a strong chance that Joseph Bagley has altered his appearance. The attached images are a forensic artist’s impressions of what he might look like if he has changed his appearance. 

Bagley is believed to have links to the Kent, Surrey and Buckinghamshire areas, and to Scotland. Detective Inspector Mark Parry said: “We are pursuing all possible lines of enquiry with regards to Joseph Bagley’s whereabouts, but we need the public’s help to find him. "I believe that he could lash out if he feels threatened, or that he is going to be returned to prison, so I am asking the public not to approach him. If you know where he is, or have information that could help us to locate him, I ask you to call police immediately on 999, quoting reference number PR/45190050312.”
