Police searching for the escaped terrorism suspect Daniel Abed Khalife are investigating the possibility he had help from within Wandsworth prison to carry out his “clearly pre-planned” getaway, the Scotland Yard chief, Sir Mark Rowley, has said.

The force also confirmed it was searching for signs of Khalife, a former British soldier, in Richmond Park, in south-west London, not far from the prison he escaped from.
