Murderer unlawfully at large after not returning to Northern Ireland prison after day release
Convicted murderer Gary Anderson is currently at large after failing to return to a Northern Ireland prison following a day release. Police have issued an appeal for the public to report his whereabouts without approaching him directly.
Why it matters
The escape of a violent offender poses a significant public safety risk and raises questions regarding prison management and day release protocols.
A CONVICTED MURDERER is unlawfully at large after failing to return to prison after being granted day release.
Gary Anderson (29) was convicted alongside his brother Sean Anderson for the 2018 murder of Karol Kelly in Derry.
Father-of-five Kelly was stabbed several times in the attack.
In 2023, Gary Anderson was sentenced to 15 years in prison for murder.
He was today on day release from prison, but has not returned.
Anderson is around 5ft 11in tall, of slim build and with brown hair.
The PSNI has appealed directly to Anderson to hand himself in.
The PSNI also asked that anyone who has seen him, or who knows of his whereabouts, not approach him directly but instead contact police.
Information can also be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers.
