'ENOUGH!' Martin Daubney breaks down in tears over 'final insult' as £500 handed to sex offender

Martin was talking to the founder of the Pink Ladies group, Lorraine Kavanagh and said: "I’m just feeling so emotional about what’s happening in Britain and what’s going on on our streets. It seems like every day is just totally out of control.

"A lot of the heartbreak and consternation. This all started on your patch in Epping, this scumbag, let’s call him what he is. He’s now been flown out of the country.

"He’s got £500 of British taxpayers’ money. Is that the final insult?"

Ms Kavanagh responded: "Well, actually, Martin, £500 was a bit of a bargain because he wasn’t eligible for the Government’s voluntary return scheme, which would have been £1,500.

"So he’s gone off with £500, that’s a year’s pay in Ethiopia, leaving a 14-year-old girl and a woman with no compensation, and the wreckage of their lives. We’re sitting ducks. I feel as though we are sitting ducks."

Martin responded: "I mean, I admire your glass-half-full attitude about the £500.

"In fact, thanks for saying that, because it’s helped me a bit. I’ve been trying to make sense of this all morning, but I still find it very, very difficult to grasp the concept that somebody could get a single penny of money for this.

"It’s not the Government’s money, it’s our money. Every single British taxpayer has paid for it. It’s not a bloody Government fund; it’s ours.

"This guy has got £500 to go back to his country after molesting a teenager who will probably remember it for the rest of her life and may never have a normal life as a consequence.

"Now, all of us who have daughters. I’ve just had enough of this. We’ve just had enough."

Kebatu had been mistakenly released from prison before being re-arrested and deported.

Officials later confirmed he was given the £500 payment to avoid delays to his removal after he threatened to disrupt the flight.

The payment was made by a Home Office removal team as a discretionary measure after he allegedly threatened to disrupt the flight back to Ethiopia.

Government sources said the payment avoided a "slower, more expensive process" that could have involved detention, re-booking flights, and potential legal challenges.

Under normal circumstances, migrants who leave the UK voluntarily under the Facilitated Returns Scheme can receive up to £1,500, but Kebatu was ineligible because he was being deported forcibly.
