 A view of the exterior of HMP Chelmsford on October 25, 2025 in Chelmsford, England. Police are continuing to search for Hadush Kebatu, who was accidentally released from HMP Chelmsford yesterday while being transferred to an immigration detention centre, mere weeks into his 12-month sentence for sex offences committed in Epping earlier this year. Police say he was last seen in London after taking the train from Chelmsford shortly after his release. Kebatu, a migrant from Ethiopia who crossed the English channel in a small boat, was convinced of sexual assault and other offences while staying at the Bell Hotel in Epping. The incident fuelled a wave of anti-migrant protests, many of them outside hotels being used as migrant accommodation. (Photo by Alishia Abodunde/Getty Images)
