A man convicted of manslaughter is being sought by police after breaking the terms of his licence.

Yohan Clarke, 29, was released on licence in late October having been convicted in 2005 of murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

This was subsequently successfully appealed to manslaughter.

Clarke, primarily associated with Croydon and South Norwood, is wanted on recall to prison after he failed to live at a specified address.

Officers believe he could be anywhere in London or the Home Counties. He has not been seen since last Tuesday.

Clarke is black man, approx 5ft 10in tall and of proportionate build. He also has extensive scarring on his face from the incident in 2004.

Police believe he has no access to money or a change of clothing.

"He has previously been convicted for a serious offence and is associated with violent actions, and therefore we advise members of the public not to approach him," said a police spokesman.

Anyone with information should contact Croydon CID on 020 8649 0088 or Croydon's 24-hour control room on 020 8649 1386.
