Escaped convict - Anyone else slightly fascinated by how he's escaping capture?

[Malariahilaria]

I don't know why but this has captured my imagination. Daniel Khalife escaped prison by clinging to the underside of a delivery van. Now I'm wondering when did he let go? Where did he hide? Is it like the fugitive where he hides in a hen house out house and steals a doctor's uniform from a hospital? Where would you hide if you had to? Where do you get food and water and shelter?

I don't know why I'm disappointed, but I am.

Chiswick with a Waitrose bag of groceries. 🙄

Well Asda and Tesco usually have security guards on the door. Waitrose don't as far as I know.

Or maybe his DM was his 'help on the outside'

He did well to evade being caught for a few days, even more risky close to the scene really! It doesn't seem like he was being particularly tactical about it, he probably knew he'd be caught and thought fuck it see if I can actually get out of here. I wonder if it was more impulsive than meticulously planned?

Northolt actually, pulled or pushed off his bike by a plain clothes police officer!
very strange.

sounds like it wasnt planned

ha ha

I strongly suspect he is a bit of a Walt ( Walter Mitty) who went a bit mad and thought he could change the world, since they thought this, hence is why he was in a Cat. B.

He got lucky in no small part due to the every corner cut way successive governments choose to run prisons.

So it wasn’t even Chiswick… canal path in Northolt 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know nothing about his personality etc but could be someone who does impulsive stuff without thinking through consequences

Said ''Chiswick area of West London'' {earliest from Met police}

Easier way to annoy and upset everybody in Chiswick. Being associated with Northolt is really going to hurt.

Still very close, only 13 miles from Wandsworth prison.
{He's no ''Rogue Male'' with his cat ''Asmodeus''}

But does Northolt have a Waitrose?

😁

I don't really think of Northolt and Chiswick as being neighbouring areas - there's all of Ealing between them. I wonder where they really mean - Northala Fields??

It'll hurt even more if Northolt did, in fact, have a Waitrose. What's the world coming to?

"Waitrose sits at 140 Northolt Road, a 0.99 mile driving distance south-west from the centre of Harrow, in South Harrow (not far from South Harrow Station). The store serves the patrons of Honeybun community, Greenhill, Rayners Lane, Northolt, Sudbury Hill, Harrow Town Centre, South Harrow and Harrow on the Hill."

or they had other intelligence but needed another way to use the intelligence to explain x

Gabriella Lewis, from Chiswick, told BBC News she believed she briefly spoke to Mr Khalife as he sat on a bench in Chiswick House Gardens on Friday morning.
After commenting on the hot weather, she said he claimed he had just come out of the Army. She described him as gentle and sweet, and said he was affectionate towards her dog.

i heard about the national trust property as well
how peculiar

Some news sites still say Chiswick some say Northolt 🤷🏼‍♀️

He's more mumsnet than most MNetters. Fucking embarrassing 🤣 he'll be getting the shit ripped out of him now by the rest of the cons.

Waitrose ffs 🤣

My 9 year old who has been following this said 'at least he had a nice sandwich mummy".

This is honestly hilarious. So he basically just hung around london, going for a bike ride and sitting on a bench having a chat? Wondering if he’s ok as seems very odd.

Wonder if that’s why he escaped. Maybe BidFood wasn’t delivering his usual Waitrose standard meals and he was absolutely rattling for a naice quiche

or they got the intelligence they needed and he was compromised.
or its a fake "hes been caught" as to why im not sure
