The UK is gripped by outrage after a migrant accused of multiple sexual assaults, from Ethiopia, was mistakenly released from a Chelmsford prison instead of being deported. The blunder has ignited tensions especially in Epping where the crimes happened, and intensified anti-immigrant sentiment. The escaped suspect quickly vanished, prompting a frantic manhunt across Britain and a rapid investigation ordered by Justice Secretary David Lammy. Starmer has publicly apologized and vowed to deport the suspect if found.
