I'm appalled and livid on behalf of the public that Kabatu is at large
0:05
He should be deported back to Ethiopia after the sexual assaults that he's committed
0:12
And of course, there is now a manhunt with Essex police, the Metropolitan Police
0:17
and British Transport Police looking for him. We know that he boarded a train and is at large in London
0:24
And of course, I've asked for a full investigation into what's happened
0:29
and an officer has been suspended. From your understanding now, what actually happened for this to come about
0:37
Well, there will be a full investigation. He should not have been released in this way
0:43
An officer has been suspended as a result of that, pending that investigation
0:49
And there is now cooperation between Essex Police, the Metropolitan Police, and the British Transport Police
0:55
because we know that he boarded a train around lunchtime and headed into London
1:01
Let be clear Kabartu committed a nasty sexual assault involving a young child and a woman And for those reasons this of course is very serious
1:13
Anyone who has any information about his whereabouts should call 999. So we need to arrest him and we need to get him out of the country where he should be
1:22
I'm livid. I'm livid on behalf of the public. But this individual who committed a sexual assault on a young minor and a woman
1:33
is at large tonight. And what are you as the justice secretary who's now responsible for this
1:40
department for this system that's had a serious failure what are you going to do about it next
1:44
As you would expect I spoke to the home secretary today I have launched an investigation into what
1:51
has happened in the prison service to allow this to come about but the important thing is that we
1:57
protect the public the important thing is that the police are able to do their work and find this
2:02
individual. And the important thing is if anyone is watching and knows where he is, that they call
2:08
999 and ensure and indeed that he gives himself up and returns to the custody that he should be in
