05.11.2025 โข The Day Wandsworth Released Two Inmates
โจUK media began the day with extensive coverage of a cargo plane crash in Kentucky, with initial reports of at least three fatalities rising to seven throughout the morning. By early morning, the focus shifted significantly to the New York City mayoral race, reporting democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's victory and its implications for Trump.
From early afternoon, the accidental release of an Algerian migrant sex offender from HMP Wandsworth became a dominant story, with a manhunt launched and questions raised about police notification. This intensified in late afternoon and evening, when it was revealed that a second prisoner, a convicted fraudster, had also been mistakenly released from Wandsworth, leading to a double manhunt and further scrutiny of prison protocols.
