THIS violent sex offender who was released on licence from prison is wanted by police after he disappeared from his Sheffield home nearly a month ago.
Edmund, aged 73, is classed as being a "high risk" to the public, especially vulnerable adults, and has convictions for sexual and violent offences.
Osmond – who is known to wear a short, strawberry blond wig – was released on prison on life licence, which has now been revoked following a breach of the conditions.
Edmund has not been seen at his home address in the city since September 17.
He is white, 5ft 10ins tall, of stocky build with a reddish complexion. He has blue eyes and short grey hair which is receding. He wears glasses for reading.
A police operation involving neighbouring police forces is under way as Edmund is known to visit Leeds and Nottingham.
