UNACCEPTABLE: Laura Kuenssberg interrupts P0LITICS show for breaking MIGRANT maпhuпt update

Laura Kuenssberg brought her BBC morning p0litics show to a halt to issue a breaking news update about the Epping s3x att@k migrant who was accidentally freed from pr!son. On Sunday (October 26), the 49-year-old broadcaster returned to the airwaves for her weekly show, where she interviewed some of the biggest names in politics about the issues the country is facing. But minutes into the show, the broadcaster halted her usual scheduled programming to issue an update about the convicted s3x offender Hadush Kebatu.

She told viewers: “I do want to interrupt for a sec because we do have more information about the arrest of Hadush Kebatu. He, of course, is the Ethiopian s3x offender who sparked riots over the summer. He has been arrested this morning. We have a statement from the Metropolitan Police Commander, James Conway, who was overseeing the operation to find him.”

The official statement read: This has been a diligent and fast-paced investigation led by specialist officers from the Metropolitan P0lice, supported by Essex P0lice and the British Transport Police.

“Information from the public led officers to Finsbury Park, and following a search, they located Mr Kebatu. He was detained by p0lice, but will be returned to the custody of the Pris0n Service.” He added: “I am extremely grateful to the public for their support following our appeal, which assisted in locating My Kebatu.”

The presenter added: “So, it seems like a tip-off from the public has brought an end to that manhunt,” before moving on with the show. The former asylum seeker was wrongfully set free when he was due to be sent to an immigration detention centre to be deported on Friday (October 24).

Kenbatu became one of the country’s highest-profile s3x offenders after reports of his crime sparked protests at the Bell Hotel in Epping, where he was staying while seeking asylum.

The Ethiopian national told two teenagers he wanted to “have a baby with each of them” before trying to k!ss them, putting his hand on one of the girls’ thighs and stroking her hair.

He also s3xually assaulted a woman by trying to kiss her, putting his hand on her leg, and telling her she was pretty. His release has caused major embarrassment for the government, with Justice Secretary David Lammy saying he was “livid” on behalf of the public over the error.

This morning, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: “There does need to be accountability for such an egregious failure.” Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg airs on Sundays from 9am on BBC One or catch up on BBC iPlayer.
