Police have released six CGI images of a convicted murderer who's been missing for a month.

Moustachioed Joseph Bagley was on life licence for the murder of a taxi driver in 1978.

More than a month after he went missing, Surrey Police believe there is a"strong chance" the 66-year-old may have changed his appearance.

Wanted: Joseph Bagley (10518844)

Bagley was released from prison in January on a supervised life licence.

He has been living in Maidstone, but failed to turn up for his curfew on Sunday 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 11ins 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.

Bagley is believed to have links to the Kent, Surrey, Buckinghamshire areas, and to Scotland.

Detective Inspector Mark Parry said: “We are pursuing all possible lines of inquiry 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.”
