A man has been charged with escaping from prison after the breakout of two inmates from HMP Pentonville.

James Anthony Whitlock, 31, was arrested at a property in Homerton, east London, on Sunday. He is due to appear at Highbury Corner magistrates court on Tuesday, Scotland Yard said.

Two men aged 48 and 19, who were also arrested on Sunday on suspicion of assisting an offender, have been bailed to return on a date in December.

Kelly Baker, 21, of Ilford, east London, has been charged with the same offence and appeared in custody at Highbury Corner magistrates court on Friday. She was bailed to appear at Blackfriars crown court on 9 December.

Matthew Baker, 28, was arrested at an address in Ilford on 9 November. He was taken to a north London police station, but was later taken to hospital for treatment for a leg injury and remains in hospital.

Scotland Yard launched a hunt for Whitlock and Baker after their escape was discovered shortly before midday on 7 November.
