Gary Anderson: Murderer unlawfully at large after failing to return to prison while on day release
Police are appealing for the public across Northern Ireland to help locate a convicted murderer who is currently unlawfully at large.
They are urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of Gary Anderson to come forward.
An appeal has also been made for the prisoner to hand himself in.
The 29-year-old, who was sentenced in 2023 to 15 years for murder, was on day release from prison on Monday (September 14).
Along with his brother Sean, Anderson had been jailed for murdering father-of-five Karol Kelly in an attack in Derry / Londonderry. Mr Kelly died in March 2018 after being stabbed several times.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "As of this time, Gary - who is approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, of slim build and with brown hair - has still not returned to prison or been apprehended.
"We appeal directly to Gary to hand himself in.
"We would also ask anyone who has seen him, or who knows of his whereabouts, not to approach him directly but to contact police on 101, quoting reference 555 of 14/09/26.”
Alternatively, information can be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100 per cent anonymous.
