Dorset residents are being urged to be vigilant - after a convicted killer, originally from Charminster, went missing from a prison in Kent.

Jamie Frater - jailed for life in 1993 for killing Bournemouth teacher Geoffrey du Rose - failed to return to Blantyre House Open Prison following community work on Monday.

Police are asking members of the public to contact them if they see the 38 year old - but are advised not to approach him.
