A second man has been charged with assisting Daniel Khalife after he escaped from prison.

Adeel Khan 30, of Waltham Forest, allegedly assisted Khalife after he escaped from HMP Wandsworth in September 2023.

He has also been charged with possession of a phone in prison contrary to Section 40 D(1) of the Prisons Act 1952.

Khan was charged via postal requisition earlier this month and is due to attend Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow, Tuesday 14 January.

Imran Chowdhury 25, of Chingford, has also been charged with assisting Khalife after he escaped from HMP Wandsworth.

He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 7 January and pleaded not guilty. He was released on bail to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 4 February.

Khalife attended Teddington School as a boy.

Born in Marleybone, he later moved to Kingston with his sister and Iranian mother.

"My mother was concerned that I was misbehaving in school," a court previously heard Khalife say.

As a teenager, he went shoplifting with a group of friends after learning about powerful magnets in a physics lesson and realising they could be used to remove security tags, he previously told the court.

He said he did not enjoy his education at Teddington School and struggled to learn, but ultimately passed 10 GCSEs.
