A failed asylum-seeker who left a 12-year-old girl to die in a road traffic accident has won the right to remain in this country, Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, 32, had already been banned from driving and was facing deportation when he left Amy Houston dying under the wheels after colliding with her in his black Rover car.
The Kurdish Iraqi, who has since committed further driving offences, was told by a judge in Manchester that he could stay in Britain because, in the six years since the tragedy, he had put down roots, married a British woman and now had two daughters.
Amy was on her way to a record shop to buy the new CD of her favourite group, Busted, when she stepped into the road near her home in Blackburn and into the car’s path.
She was trapped under the vehicle and had to be freed by fire fighters. A police officer drove the ambulance to hospital to allow paramedics to treat the child but she died later that day.
While the rescue operation was under way Mr Ibrahim panicked and fled from the scene. He later confessed to a friend what he had done and gave himself up to police. He served two months of a four-month jail term.
In 2006 he was convicted on a fresh charge of driving while disqualified, the latest in a series of motoring offences.
The UK Border Agency had been anxious to deport Mr Ibrahim at the earliest opportunity, even taking him into the care of a deportation centre.
What planet do our Judges live on, is this really the type of man this Country needs don’t we have enough of our own scum without importing more, so what that he has fathered a couple of kids.
As usual he is able to stay because of human rights legislation, appealing on the grounds that deporting him would breach his right to “ respect for family life”
What about little Amy Houston’s human rights.
The sooner we kick this Government out and give David Cameron as he has promised the chance to repel some of these ridiculous laws the better.
