Migrant Sex Offender Accidentally Released

Hadush Kebatu, a convicted sex offender migrant, was accidentally released from prison and spent over 70 hours at large before arrest.
Procedural confusion caused Kebatu to be guided to HMP Chelmsford station multiple times before leaving.
David Lammy will address Parliament on Monday, citing an independent inquiry into the incident.
Police question Kebatu about his movements between release and arrest.
The incident sparked protests in Epping and was labeled 'totally unacceptable' by Lammy.
Kebatu will be deported to Ethiopia.
Sky's Tom Parmenter interviewed a delivery driver about Kebatu at HMP Chelmsford.
