The migrant sex offender who was mistakenly released from prison has been arrested. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that Hadush Kebatu, 41, was arrested in the Finsbury Park area at around 8.30am on Sunday morning (October 26).
A manhunt was launched after his accidental release from HMP Chelmsford, Essex, on Friday morning. A witness said Kebatu seemed "confused" following his release while prison staff told him: "Go, you've been released. Go."
Commander James Conway, who oversaw the operation to find Kebatu, said: "This has been a diligent and fast paced investigation led by specialist officers from the Metropolitan Police, supported by Essex Police and the British Transport Police.
"Information from the public led officers to Finsbury Park and following a search, they located Mr Kebatu. He was detained by police, but will be returned to the custody of the Prison Service.
"I am extremely grateful to the public for their support following our appeal, which assisted in locating Mr Kebatu."
