Summary

Caroline Cheetham and Jack Hardy are back with the very latest from Woolwich Crown Court in The Trial of Daniel Khalife. In this episode we bring you the details of Khalife’s alleged escape. We hear how he clung to the bottom of a food lorry which prison guards allowed to leave HMP Wandsworth despite knowing a prisoner was missing. The man-hunt that ensued was one of the most high-profile and expansive in recent history. In police interviews, Khalife expresses his fears he has ‘pissed off’ the whole country as the search disrupts international travel but adds that turning himself in would have been ‘boring’.
