THE prison that mistakenly released the Epping sex attacker migrant was conned into accidentally releasing another lag.
HMP Chelmsford let Hadush Kebatu walk free over the weekend sparking an urgent manhunt.
In a blow to the jail’s reputation it has now been revealed that officers were conned into releasing another inmate early two years ago.
Staff in the prison received an email in June 2023 claiming to be from the Royal Courts of Justice instructing the prison to release Junead Ahmed.
Ahmed was awaiting trial on suspicion of a serious fraud offence but was let go after staff received the email.
