Police hunt for two men mistakenly released from prison
Police in London are searching for two prisoners who were mistakenly released from Wandsworth Prison in separate incidents—a sex offender named Brahim Kaddour-Cherif and convicted fraudster William Smith. This comes after a recent similar incident involving a migrant sex offender. The Justice Secretary faces scrutiny for failing to prevent such errors despite promising additional measures after the previous release.
