Bernadin Dedic, 48, is reported to be on the run after being mistakenly released from HMP Wormwood Scrubs in London in February. Multiple outlets say the prison was incorrectly informed that he had been granted bail, leading to his release despite him being in custody to await trial. BBC and other reports describe the incident as an administrative or official error that results in Dedic leaving the UK shortly afterward. According to the accounts, within hours of being ejected from the prison, Dedic took a Eurostar out of Britain. Several outlets add that he told prison staff that the release was a mistake as he was being freed, and that he contacted others immediately after leaving, including lawyers and friends. One report also places him in Bosnia following his departure. The outlets describe him as a convicted rapist and state that the police are searching for him, following the wrongful release.
