Convicted murderer and rapist Paul James Carr is on the run after slashing his ankle

A convicted murderer and rapist is on the run after having his ankle sprained.

Paul James Carr was released from prison last year after serving life for murdering a man in New South Wales, followed by eight years for assaulting and raping a teenage girl in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

Carr was sentenced nine years ago for raping and assaulting the 16-year-old at her home in March 1987.

By the time he was charged with rape in 2013, he was already serving a life sentence for murdering a man.

Carr was released from prison last year with a supervision order requiring him to wear an electronic tag, but he has now removed it.

He was last seen in Fremantle about 2.45pm on Wednesday.

He is of medium build with short stubble.

Carr was last seen wearing dark clothing with silver hi-vis stripes, a black hat and a dark backpack.

“Detectives from the Serious Offender Management Team are urgently appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of serious high-risk offender, 55-year-old Paul James Carr,” police said.

“Mr Carr has removed his electronic ankle monitoring unit and is wanted for questioning in relation to breaching a condition of his supervision order.”
