Fugitive murderer Gary Anderson still sought by police after missing return

Gary Anderson, convicted of the 2018 murder of Karol Kelly, was granted temporary release to attend his father's funeral and failed to return to custody. Police in Northern Ireland and the Republic have launched a cross‑border search, urging the public not to confront him and to provide any information. Justice Minister Naomi Long has publicly asked Anderson to surrender, describing him as dangerous. The Stormont Justice Committee has requested explanations from the Prison Service and the Justice Department about how he evaded custody. The search for Anderson continues.
