"Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu was jailed for 12 months in September for the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl and was wrongly freed from HMP Chelmsford on Friday morning instead of being sent to an immigration detention centre. The migrant, who had been living at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, when he assaulted the girl, took a train from Chelmsford to Stratford, east London, the day he was released and was later spotted in Dalston"
"British prime minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed Kebatu will be deported, which could happen as early as next week. "Officers have worked quickly and diligently to bring him back into custody," the Prime Minister said. "We have ordered an investigation to establish what went wrong. We must make sure this doesn't happen again." A Home Office source said: "Kebatu was always due to be deported next week. That's the plan we are still working towards.""
