Killer on run in parole fail

A CONVICTED killer was on the run yesterday after removing his electronic monitoring anklet while on parole in Sydney.

Damien Anthony Peters, 50, was last seen at Randwick’s Prince of Wales Hospital about 4.15pm on Sunday and police found his monitoring device about four hours later in nearby Kensington.

Peters pleaded guilty to murdering and dismembering two of his male lovers in his Surry Hills flat in 2001 and was jailed for 21 years, with a nonparole period of 13 years, in 2002.
