Manhunt for Epping hotel migrant sex attacker after he's accidentally FREED from prison instead of being deported

A police manhunt is underway after the hotel migrant who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Epping was mistakenly released from prison. Hadush Kebatu, 41, was accidentally let loose from HMP Chelmsford this morning, a Ministry of Justice official told the Daily Mail. The sex offender had been due to be transferred from the jail to a Home Office immigration removal centre in order to be deported. Police officers have now launched a major search to locate him. The blunder comes amid backlash at efforts to tackle illegal migration after Sir Keir Starmer's 'one in, one out' policy was accused of being in tatters this week. It came after a migrant who was previously deported under the scheme reappeared on UK shores this week having again crossed the Channel in a small boat.
