Daniel Abed Khalife is a 21-year-old on remand awaiting trial in relation to terrorism and Official Secrets Act 1989 offences who escaped from HMP Wandsworth on 6 September 2023.[1]
It is believed he escaped via a prison kitchen by strapping himself to the bottom of a food delivery van.
Extra security checks at airports and ports have led to long delays.
A working theory is that Mr Khalife had been in the kitchen when he began his escape from HMP Wandsworth, a category B prison in south-west London, at around 07:50 BST.
He is 6ft 2ins tall and was last seen wearing a prison-issue chef's uniform of a white T-shirt, red and white chequered trousers and brown steel toe cap boots, police said.
The Met Police believe Daniel Khalife poses a "low risk" to the public but people are being urged not to approach him and to call 999 instead.[2]
Arrested in Chiswick
Escaped remand prisoner Daniel Khalife has been found and arrested in the Chiswick area of west London following a four-day nationwide manhunt.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the former soldier was arrested by officers just before 11am on 9 September 2023 and is currently in their custody.[3]
