The sister of a man whose killer has been on the run for eight days has said her family had no idea he had been released from prison to attend his father’s funeral until after he absconded. Francesca Kelly’s brother Karol was murdered by Gary and Sean Anderson after stabbing him several times in 2018. They were given life in prison. Last Monday, Gary Anderson was freed from Maghaberry prison for two hours to attend his father’s funeral in Derry. A court sitting the previous day overturned a decision by the Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS) not to release him. He then absconded. Francesca said the failings had been “at the highest level” and she wanted to raise these face-to-face with the Justice Minister Naomi Long. 📲for more on the click the link in the @bbcnewsni bio #bbcnewsni #northernireland
