LONDON, United Kingdom -- UK police on Saturday arrested suspect accused of 'terror offences' who escaped from a London prison earlier this week, sparking a nationwide manhunt.
An undated handout photo released by Britain's Metropolitan Police in London on September 6, 2023, shows Daniel Khalife who has escaped from HMP Wandsworth prison. UK police on Saturday, September 9, arrested a terror suspect who escaped from a London prison earlier this week, sparking a nationwide manhunt.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, currently in India at the G20 summit, told UK media he was"very pleased with the news".The 21-year-old former soldier fled from Wandsworth prison in south London on Wednesday morning, probably by clinging to the bottom of a delivery van. Met Police Commander Dominic Murphy told reporters:"It's been about 75 hours since he went missing from the prison to the point of his arrest. That's pretty quick given the challenge of trying to find this individual.
Khalife was arrested while riding a pedal bike along a canal towpath by a plain clothes officer at 10:41 am local time.Khalife last appeared in court in London on January 28 and was remanded in custody over two incidents at the Royal Air Force base in Stafford, central England, near the army barracks where he lived.
His trial at Woolwich Crown Court -- attached to Belmarsh prison -- had been set to begin on November 13.Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said earlier this week that strapping was found underneath the delivery van which appeared to indicate that Khalife may have held onto the underside of it in order to escape.
