WATCH: David Lammy says he is ‘livid’ after Epping migrant Hadush Kebatu was mistakenly released from prison

Justice Secretary David Lammy has said he is “livid” about the accidental release of Epping hotel migrant Hadush Kebatu from prison.

Speaking to the media, the Deputy Prime Minister said: “I’m appalled and livid on behalf of the public that Kebatu is at large. He should be deported back to Ethiopia after the sexual assaults that he’s committed.

“And of course, there is now a manhunt with Essex Police, the Metropolitan Police and British Transport Police looking for him.

“We know that he boarded a train and is at large in London. And of course, I vouched for a full investigation into what’s happened and an officer has been suspended.”

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
