A 31-year-old man has told a court in London that he will agree to be returned to Ireland where gardaí want to talk to him about the death of his wife in Dublin two years ago.
Goodwill Udechukwe originally said that he did not want to return to Ireland.
When the judge at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London asked him did he consent to be returned he said no.
However, he subsequently told the court that he wanted to return to Ireland because he has a son there and he missed him so much.
Judge Nicholas Evans ordered him to be extradited, saying he would probably be in Ireland in the next day or two.
Mr Udechukwe was arrested in London on suspicion of shoplifting. He gave British police a false name but when his fingerprints were checked it emerged he was wanted in Ireland.
A native of Nigeria, he came to Ireland seeking political asylum but was refused.
He had been missing since February 2003 following the death of his 25-year-old Jamaican-born wife Natasha Gray, who was found bludgeoned to death at her apartment in Phibsboro in Dublin.
Ms Gray was the mother of a four-year-old child and a four-month-old baby. It is believed she had been married to Mr Udechukwe for about a year.
Mr Udechukwe was convicted of assault in Dublin two years ago after he became violent when he was refused rent allowance.
It took seven gardaí to restrain him when he lost his temper and when they tried to handcuff him he began to kick and punch and dived at one of the gardaí in an attempt to bite him.
It is believed he is also wanted in Austria for attacking his former partner.
