Met urges Epping migrant sex offender to hand himself in
Hadush Kebatu was mistakenly freed from HMP Chelmsford due to staff shortages; 262 prisoners were wrongly released in England and Wales last year, prison service data shows.
- On Friday morning the Metropolitan Police appealed for Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu to surrender after he was mistakenly released from HMP Chelmsford instead of being transferred to an immigration detention centre.
- HM Inspectorate of Prisons reported HMP Chelmsford faced considerable pressures and staff shortfalls, and a prison officer has been taken off duties amid an ongoing investigation.
- He then travelled by train, last seen in Hackney just before 8pm, after CCTV showed Kebatu in Dalston Square at 6pm with a white avocado bag and prison tracksuit.
- The Metropolitan Police led the search into its third day, with Commander James Conway urging anyone who sees Kebatu or helped him to call 999; Sim reported Kebatu returning confused 'four or five times' and being turned away.
- Court records show Kebatu was found guilty of five offences after a three-day trial linked to July 7 incidents, the court heard his 'firm wish' to be deported, and protests erupted in Epping, Essex.
