Daniel Khalife: Trial begins of former soldier accused of escaping prison

A former soldier accused of escaping from prison while he was on remand for terror and espionage charges has gone on trial – charged with four offences including passing secret information to “agents of Iran”.

23-year-old Daniel Khalife was arrested in September last year – three days after allegedly escaping from Wandsworth prison underneath a delivery lorry.

He denies all the charges.
