Sex offender released by mistake turned away from prison after trying to return

The Epping sex offender Hadush Kebatu, who’s thought to be in London after he was released yesterday from prison by mistake, was turned away from Chelmsford jail by staff when he tried to return and directed to the railway station instead. Kebatu was jailed just weeks ago for sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl

He was supposed to be deported but was wrongly categorised as a prisoner to be freed on licence. The Metropolitan Police are now leading the operation to find him
