Evelyn Glenholmes was freed for a second time over suspected murder charges after a judge ruled the British extradition warrants invalid on 22 March 1986. She was wanted in Britain over three suspected terrorist murders, attempted murder and London bombings, while Irish police awaited legally correct warrants.

Glenholmes had been arrested in a Dublin suburb on 12 March on nine British warrants. After her release, police recaptured her during a high-speed pursuit, but a second judge refused to jail her pending fresh warrants; she subsequently disappeared.
