‘Egregious failure’: Why a migrant sex offender facing deportation was released from an English prison

A migrant sex offender, Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, convicted of sexual offences against a minor and a woman, was mistakenly released from HMP Chelmsford. He was apprehended in London’s Finsbury Park after a two-day manhunt, following his arrival in the UK via a small boat. An investigation has been launched into the “egregious failure” of his release.
