🚨 **Urgent Manhunt Alert!** 🚨
A major manhunt is underway after Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, a convicted sex offender, was mistakenly released from jail. The 38-year-old Ethiopian national, previously residing at the Bell Hotel in Epping, was serving a 12-month sentence for sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl. He was due to be transferred to an immigration detention centre for deportation but was accidentally released from HMP Chelmsford.
Kebatu was last seen boarding a train headed for London. Both police and government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, are working tirelessly to locate him. Mr Lammy expressed his shock over the error and affirmed that Kebatu must face deportation.
The incident has sparked significant concern across the country, with investigations already launched into how such a critical mistake occurred. A prison officer has been removed from duties amid an ongoing inquiry.
Kebatu’s actions had previously led to heated protests in Epping and beyond, highlighting tensions around asylum seekers’ accommodation. Police are now urging the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings of Kebatu immediately.
