Doyle, who recently fled to Wexford, was taken into custody shortly before 5am upon returning to his house from a brothel where police were waiting for him and arrested him under some section of some act.

It is believed that the hugely overworked BN lawyers will try to have Pendlebury tried as a juvenile given that his girlfriend is probably only 13.

It is not the first time Doyle has been in trouble with the law after hundreds of complaints from in and around the Artane area saw him arrested but later released without charge over alleged voyeuristic activities. At the time, police found
thousands of pounds worth of binoculars, video recording equipment, spy cameras and maps to secluded areas which Doyle later claimed were because he had a cold.

As Doyle was brought into Pearse Street station, he was asked by waiting journalists why he had murdered over 6000 women he replied 'I have a cold. It's a real toughie'.
