Lammy promises inquiry into sex offender's release
The Independent
|October 28, 2025
An independent investigation into how a sex offender was wrongly set free instead of being deported will be launched and report its findings within weeks, justice secretary David Lammy announced yesterday.
Lynne Owens, a former deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and ex-director general of the National Crime Agency, will look into what went wrong and make recommendations to stop similar cases, Mr Lammy told MPs.
Police had to urgently hunt for Hadush Kebatu over the weekend after he was set free from HMP Chelmsford in a blunder that sparked widespread anger.
The Ethiopian national was jailed for 12 months in September for sexually assaulting a teenage girl, but on Friday he was wrongly released instead of being sent to an immigration detention centre.
