Daniel Khalife route: How did he escape Wandsworth Prison?

DANIEL Khalife escaped prison on Wednesday morning - with the escaped prisoner still on the run two days later.

Police have today revealed a confirmed sighting of the suspected terrorist after he managed to cling to the bottom of a delivery van and flee Wandsworth Prison.

But Khalife is still at large - with the Met Police desperately hunting the suspected terrorist.

Here's everything you need to know about how Daniel Khalife escaped from Wandsworth Prison

How did Daniel Khalife escape?

Khalife hid under a BidFood food delivery truck to make his escape while working in the prison kitchen on Wednesday morning.

He fled in a chef's uniform of a white T-shirt, red and white chequered trousers and brown steel toecap boots.

The terror suspect thought to have used makeshift straps to attach himself to the truck as it was waved out of the notorious lock-up.

The van left Wandsworth Prison at 7.32am, taking a right turn out of gates onto Heathfield Road.

It then turned left onto Magdalen Road and left again onto Trinity Road (A214) up to the Wandsworth Roundabout - taking the first exit onto Swandon Way (A217).

It then turned left onto Old York Road past Wandsworth Town station then left onto Fairfield Street, and right onto Wandsworth High Street (A3).

It stayed straight ahead onto West Hill and then on to Upper Richmond Road (A205).

The van was stopped by cops chasing Khalife at 8.37am - over an hour after Khalife was declared missing at 7.50am.

Prison officers did not notify cops about his escape until 8.15am.

What did Daniel Khalife do?

Khalife, who was attached to the Royal Signal Corps before being discharged, is currently awaiting trial for terrorism offences.

He is accused of leaving fake bombs at an RAF base in January.

He vanished for more than three weeks after the bomb hoax before being arrested on January 26.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard he left the device "with the intention of inducing in another the belief the item was likely to explode or ignite".

Another charge, under the Official Secrets Act, alleges Khalife collected personal information about soldiers from an MoD computer system that could be useful to an enemy.

He was being held on remand at Wandsworth prison and was due to stand trial on November 20.

Has Daniel Khalife been seen since his escape?

A huge manhunt has now been launched, with the Met Police offering a £20,000 reward for information.

The force also revealed they are investigating a sighting of Khalife shortly after he escaped the prison.

A member of the public saw a man resembling the terror suspect climbing out from underneath the BidFood delivery van as it stopped near the Wandsworth roundabout, at the top of Trinity Road.

This man was then seen walking towards Wandsworth town centre.

Commander Dominic Murphy, who leads the Met's counter terrorism command, said the sighting could be "very significant".

It comes after the Met confirmed they are looking for a shop assistant who claimed he saw Khalife on Wednesday.

The witness said he saw a a "tall, lanky dude" running under a bridge and into a black vehicle outside Wandsworth County Court.

A police spokesperson said: "We are aware of news reports about a shop assistant who believes they saw Daniel Khalife.

"We are trying to identify this man so we can speak with him. We urge him to contact us by calling 999."
