Daniel Khalife charged over Wandsworth prison escape

(BBC) Daniel Khalife has been charged with escaping from Wandsworth prison, after his four days on the run came to an end on Saturday.

The 21-year-old former soldier is due to appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

He was arrested on a towpath in Northolt after being pulled off a bicycle by a plain-clothed officer.

Mr Khalife escaped from the prison on Wednesday morning, seemingly by hiding under a food delivery lorry.

The Met Police said he had been charged with escaping on September 6 while on remand at HMP Wandsworth Prison awaiting trial at the Old Bailey, contrary to common law.
