Police say a convicted killer who has escaped from custody in Lancashire could be a risk to the public.
Brian Lynch, 44, disappeared while on day release for the first time since he was jailed 25 years ago.
He was convicted of murder in 1988 after beating to death 21-year-old Chi Keung Yip in Manchester.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Gilbert, who is leading the search for the escaped prisoner warned people not to approach him.
"Because he has been in prison for 25 years he won't know the area very well so he may approach the public and ask for directions," he told Sky News.
"I'd ask the public to be aware of his description and ask themselves whether they've been approached by this man."
Since Lynch disappeared in Preston city centre on Thursday afternoon there have been two potential sightings of him.
A man matching his appearance was seen at Preston bus station just after 3pm on Thursday.
The second potential sighting was on Stanley Grove in Penwortham at 5.15pm on the same day.
Police think he may have travelled to his home city of Manchester where he has family and friends.
Lynch had been moved to HMP Kirkham in Lancashire, which is an open, category D prison in December.
He was on day release at the time of his escape as part of his rehabilitation preparing him for life outside prison.
