According to reports, Daniel Khalife, a former soldier, had made a stop at a McDonald's during his time on the run. Apparently, he had escaped from Wandsworth Prison and had been on the loose for a few days before being caught. It was said that he had hitched a ride underneath a food delivery truck to make his escape.
During his arrest, Khalife had complained about injuring his back and had made a remark about not knowing how immigrants manage to do it. This caught the attention of the jurors who were now hearing his case at the Old Bailey. The prosecution stated that Khalife had deliberately planned his escape while being escorted to the kitchen, where he had a trusted job.
It was revealed that Khalife had successfully slipped out of the Category B prison during a routine headcount and a nationwide manhunt had been launched to find him. The truck that he had used for his escape was later found by the police, who noticed something peculiar about the vehicle. A police dog's keen interest in the rear of the truck led to a search, which uncovered a makeshift rope made of fabric tied to the frame of the truck.
During the trial at Woolwich Crown Court, the prosecution presented evidence of Khalife's whereabouts and activities during his time on the run. On September 6, he had been to Richmond and was later seen at Mountain Warehouse. The following day, he had been pictured at M&S and Sainsbury's, wearing a face mask and different clothing.
On the day of his arrest, Khalife had been spotted at a McDonald's. The prosecution made it clear to the jury that there was no dispute that Khalife had been in lawful custody and had somehow managed to escape. They would have to hear his defense for this charge in due course.
Khalife had been apprehended on a canal towpath in west London on September 9, 2023. With him, the police found a mountain bike, a Waitrose bag containing a phone, receipts, a diary, and around £200 in cash. He is also facing charges of gathering and communicating information that could be useful to an enemy, as well as perpetrating a bomb hoax in Staffordshire.
In addition, he is being accused of attempting to obtain personal information about armed forces personnel that could be used for acts of terrorism. However, Khalife has denied all of these charges. The trial is ongoing and more details will be revealed as it progresses.
