Daniel Abed Khalife is a 21-year-old former soldier who had been based at the MoD Stafford military base – also known as Beacon Barracks.

He disappeared from the barracks on 2 January after an alleged bomb hoax, a court heard, before he was arrested a few weeks later on 26 January.

A prosecutor told Westminster Magistrates Court on 28 January there had been “active efforts to look for him” and he was “arrested in or near his car”.

After that court appearance, he was held at Belmarsh Prison. He was not released on bail and it is currently unclear when he was transferred to Wandsworth.

Khalife appeared in court on 28 January, 17 February and 21 July, according to the PA News agency archive.

By July he was at Wandsworth, appearing for his court date that month by video link.

He was due to face a trial of up to six weeks at Woolwich Crown Court from 13 November.
