"Police are conducting a manhunt for an asylum seeker who was mistakenly released from prison on Friday. Major demonstrations outside the Bell Hotel in Epping were seen earlier this year after Hadush Kebatu, who was staying there, sexually assaulted a woman and a 14-year-old girl. He was meant to be sent to an immigration detention centre to be deported, but was accidentally freed on Friday."
"He was wrongly categorised as a prisoner due to be released on licence and handed a 76 discharge grant, The Telegraph reported. An officer at the prison has been removed from duty while officials investigate the error, The Independent understands. Videos circulated online appeared to show a man resembling Kebatu in Chelmsford town centre shortly after his release, wearing a grey tracksuit and carrying a plastic bag."

He had been staying at the Bell Hotel in Epping, where major demonstrations occurred earlier this year. Kebatu was due to be transferred to an immigration detention centre for deportation but was wrongly categorised as a prisoner due for release and given a 76 discharge grant.
