Murder convict missing after failing to return from day release

Gary Anderson, 29, a convicted murderer, is unlawfully at large after failing to return to Maghaberry Prison following a day release on Monday, bbc.co.uk reports.

Anderson was one of two men sentenced in 2023 for the murder of Karol Kelly. He had been granted temporary release but did not go back to the prison as required.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) described him as approximately five feet 11 inches tall, of slim build, with brown hair.

"As of this time, Gary — who is approximately five feet 11 inches tall, of slim build and with brown hair — has still not returned to prison or been apprehended," the PSNI said, adding a direct appeal: "We appeal directly to Gary to hand himself in."

The PSNI urged anyone who sees Anderson or knows of his whereabouts not to approach him, but instead to contact police immediately.
