Former gang leader Daniel Gee who went on the run for a number of weeks has been sentenced to additional time in prison.
The IPP sentence - a prison term introduced in 2005 for serious crimes but abolished in 2012 after public pressure - was introduced for offenders considered particularly dangerous. The new sentence will mean Gee's likelihood of parole from his indeterminate sentence will be set back. The ECHO understands Gee has now been returned to prison. He was originally jailed on an indeterminate sentence for the public's protection in 2010 following his conviction for gun offences after he plotted to arm himself to take revenge against teenager Jamie Starkey. The courts heard he had plotted to arm himself after making death threats to 16-year-old gunman Starkey.
The then Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Henry Globe KC, said: "I am in no doubt that the public must be protected from you in the future. I really do not know when it will be safe to release you."
