A convicted killer - on the run from a prison in Kent - has handed himself in to Poole police station.

Jamie Frater - who's originally from Bournemouth and was jailed for life in 1993 for murdering teacher Geoffrey du Rose in the town - failed to return to Blantyre House Open Prison following community work on Monday.

Police say the 38 year old made contact with his family before turning himself in last night, and he'll be taken back to prison today.
