SUMMARY
Hadush Kebatu, a migrant who was mistakenly released from a UK prison, has been recaptured. He was arrested in Finsbury Park, London, after a manhunt ensued. Kebatu should have been sent to an immigration detention center for deportation but was freed in error.
After being spotted on CCTV, police received a tip-off from the public leading to his arrest. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stated Kebatu would be deported and called for an investigation into the incident. Justice Secretary David Lammy ordered an immediate review of release protocols.
Kebatu had previously been sentenced for sexual offenses and was deemed a significant risk of reoffending.
