Justice secretary Alex Chalk has said Wandsworth prison escapee Daniel Abed Khalife “will be found and made to face justice”.

A manhunt for 21-year-old terror suspect Khalife entered its second day on Thursday 7 September, after he went missing in his cook’s uniform from HMP Wandsworth on Wednesday.

It has been reported that he escaped from a prison kitchen by clinging to a delivery van.

“Daniel Khalife will be found, and he will be made to face justice,” Mr Chalk told MPs in the House of Commons on Thursday.
