Gary Anderson, serving a 15-year sentence for a 2018 stabbing death, disappeared during his short leave — a release granted despite initial denial — prompting Stormont’s Justice Committee to demand answers from the Prison Service, Justice Department, and Lady Chief Justice. They’re investigating whether Anderson was permitted to travel outside Northern Ireland and probing the role of any civilian chaperone. Police are urging him to surrender, while committee members call for the Justice Minister to meet with the victim’s family. The court’s reversal in granting release, based on disputed evidence, now casts doubt on the entire process. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
