Fury as Algerian Migrant Sex Offender is Accidentally Released From Wandsworth Prison But Police Weren’t Told for a Week

Police have launched an urgent manhunt after an Algerian migrant prisoner was mistakenly freed from HMP Wandsworth amid fury that police weren’t told for a week. The Mail has more.

The Algerian convict, 24, is understood to have been serving time for trespass with an intent to steal but has previously committed a sexual offence of indecent exposure.

It’s understood the missing prisoner is Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, who was previously linked to an address in east London. 

He was released from the south London prison in error on October 29th but the mistake was only reported to the Metropolitan Police on Tuesday (November 4th), raising serious questions over why it took nearly a week for the force to be informed.

The blunder is the latest controversy to hit HMP Wandsworth, the same prison where former soldier Daniel Khalife mounted his high-profile escape from and where female prison officer Linda De Sousa Abreu was filmed having sex with an inmate.

The Algerian’s accidental release also marks another humiliating blow to the Government which is still scrambling to recover from the fallout of migrant sex attacker Hadush Kebatu being mistakenly freed from HMP Chelmsford just days ago.

Kebatu, who was convicted of sexually assaulting a 14 year-old girl and a woman in Epping, Essex, was freed in error on October 24th before he was arrested in Finsbury Park, north London, three days later.

The Ethiopian migrant, whose offences sparked protests outside the asylum seeker hotel he was staying in and around the country, was deported to his home country last Tuesday. He was paid £500 in taxpayers’ money to leave after threatening to disrupt his removal. 

David Lammy, the Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, had vowed to increase checks on prisoners being released following the nationwide manhunt for Kebatu.

It’s understood he knew about the second wrongly released prisoner “overnight” but refused to answer whether any more asylum seekers had been mistakenly freed since Kebatu during Prime Minister’s Questions today. 

Mr Lammy, who was standing in for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, refused to answer five times. 

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: The Mail reports that a second prisoner, British national William ‘Billy’ Smith, has been at large since Monday after also being released from HMP Wandsworth, this time due to a court error.

Nothing is accidental. They are being released on purpose, mostl likely by Muzzies inside the system.

Accidental release of prisoners has been going on for years. Chris Atkins wrote about it in ‘A bit of a Stretch’. I imagine that it’s happening in greater numbers now as staff recruitment, retention and morale are low and getting more so.

He (Lammy) did a very credible impersonation in PMQs of Diane Abbott talking about sums.

Would it have mattered more or less if it was a male prison officer filmed having sex with an inmate?

I don’t know who’s more dangerous: the uniparty or the unvetted scum they’re letting in ( and seem very reluctant to boot out ). More from Clown World ( formerly known as Great Britain ); ”The British government placed a convicted paedophile wanted by German authorities in a migrant hotel and is paying for his legal defence against extradition, sparking outrage from local MPs. Izalden Alshaik Suleman, 32, was detained by the National Crime Agency (NCA) at the Britannia Ashley Hotel in Hale last month and now faces deportation to Germany where he is wanted for a child sex offence. His detention at the hotel, which has been used to house alleged asylum seekers at taxpayer expense since 2023, has sparked questions as to why the government placed the convicted paedophile within the accommodation in the first place, rather than immediately removing him from the country. Speaking to the Altrincham Today publication, Local MP Connor Rand said: “The individual who has been arrested should never have been allowed into the country. I understand they now face extradition, and I will be writing to the Home Office to request they are deported as soon as possible. The leader of the Trafford Conservatives… Read more »

Given that Kneel and co are intent on sparking at least a minor insurrection as a minimum we must expect incidents such as this to reoccur and with increasing frequency.

I can’t shake the feeling that it’s all going to plan.
