The next hearing for an Albanian double murderer living in the UK takes place tomorrow.

Avni Metra said he fled Albania almost two decades ago fearing for his life.

He faces extradition to his homeland, where he is wanted in connection with two murders and possession of firearms dating back to the 1990s.

Metra was arrested in Watford in June this year while on bail on suspicion of rape, an earlier hearing was told.

Last week the court heard Metra, who is in custody and previously lived in Borehamwood, was convicted in 2011 of common assault against his ex-partner, and subject to a restraining order for a year afterwards.

The extradition hearing will be held at Westminster’s Magistrates Court on Friday.
