Hadush Kebatu was arrested in the Finsbury Park area of North London yesterday morning, bringing to an end a manhunt that began after he was let go in error from HMP Chelmsford.

Justice Secretary David Lammy said he will be deported this week and added: “I have already ordered the immediate strengthening of release checks and a full investigation into what went wrong.”

Sky News reported that Kebatu is expected to leave the UK tomorrow.

A witness who saw him being led away by police said he was walking “calmly”.

Jack Neill-Hall said: “I was there to walk my dog and as I entered the park I saw a group of five people - two uniformed officers, someone who looked more like they were a plainclothes officer and a fourth person — and a man who looked awfully like the Epping asylum seeker guy.”
