A convicted rapist who was accidentally released from prison due to a court administration error is now on the run in Europe after fleeing Britain before he could be sentenced.
Bernadin Dedic, 48, was found guilty in his absence at Isleworth Crown Court of nine offences, including four counts of rape and making threats to kill. Prosecutors said he targeted a vulnerable woman at knifepoint before later leaving the country using a Bosnian passport after his mistaken release from custody.
