Kevin O'Sullivan Sparks Debate Over Mistaken Release of Migrant Sex Offender 🚨

An independent inquiry into how a migrant sex offender was mistakenly released from prison will look at how to prevent further “rising” releases in error, the Justice Secretary said.

Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu was wrongly freed from HMP Chelmsford on Friday morning instead of being sent to an immigration detention centre.

He was set for deportation under an early removals scheme (ERS) for foreign national offenders, but was released into the community in “what appears to have been in human error”, David Lammy told MPs.

Kevin O'Sullivan clashes with former prison officer Sam Samsworth over who should be "exonerated" from the accidental release of an illegal migrant from jail.

"Whoever let him go, it's their fault!.. Don't blame the system or staff shortages - they need to be sacked!"
