He was sentenced in 2013 to 12 years for manslaughter comprising of eight years in prison and an extension period on licence of four years. Now Gwent Police have warned members of the public not to approach the killer. 

"We’re appealing for information to find Shaun Walker who has been recalled to prison. The 29-year-old from Newport has been recalled to prison after breaching his licence conditions," a spokesman for Gwent Constabulary said. 

He was sentenced in 2013 to 12 years for manslaughter comprising of eight years in prison and an extension period on licence of four years.

"If you see him, the public are asked not to approach him and to instead call 999.

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
