Shane Frane was convicted of the manslaughter of PC Philippa Reynolds
Questions "have to be asked" over how a man who killed a policewoman in Londonderry remains on the run from prison, the SDLP leader has said.
Shane Frane admitted the manslaughter of PC Philippa Reynolds following a fatal car crash in February 2013.
He was jailed for at least six years in 2014 but has now breached the conditions of a temporary release from jail.
The police have appealed for him to hand himself in.
PC Reynolds was killed when a stolen car driven by Frane crashed into a police car.
The 36-year-old, who is originally from Limerick in the Republic of Ireland, has been missing since 17 January.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has appealed for the public to help find him.
A PSNI spokesperson told 成人快手 Radio Foyle's North West Today "we are making a direct appeal to Frane to hand himself in".
'A worrying time for family'
The Foyle MP Colum Eastwood said: "Questions will have to be asked as to how this happened.
"It is a very worrying time I would imagine for Philippa Reynolds' family.
"Anybody that has any information or sees this guy should immediately report it to the police."
The PSNI said it believed Frane - who is 6ft 3in tall, of medium build, with blue eyes and a left eye disfigurement - may have travelled to the Republic of Ireland.
He has tattoos on his upper right arm, fair hair and speaks with a southern Irish accent.
