Kebatu wasn't really "on the run"

This is annoying me because the media keep saying he was on the run but - as far as I can tell - he was let out under very strange circumstances (in prison tracksuit etc), is not a native English speaker and probably didn't have a complete understanding of what was happening.
At what point would a mistakenly released prisoner say "I think you have made a mistake"? Particularly one with limited understanding of the criminal justice system.
The crime he committed was terrible and I am glad he is being deported, but his mistaken release was not his fault and he didn't really go "on the run", just got on with the situation he was presented with.

He had also requested during his trial to be returned home at the end of his sentence. Ridiculous fuck up.

Do you kick up a fuss then?

I certainly don't protest in front of their house waving flags.

It’s quite amusing that he was so confused that the taxi/bus/hotel/pocket money thing was over and he was on his own.
There will definitely be lawyers trying to persuade him to stay and make a claim for his distress.

Boo fucking hoo.
i can’t believe some of the posts.
Maybe if we were not spaffing £15.3 BILLION on ‘migrants accomodation ’ illegals in hotels we could afford to ensure British vulnerable prisoners were given some support.

I love the way that you have twisted yourself into having sympathy for convicted criminals, and hatred for people fleeing to safety from appalling circumstances. Top class. I wonder what the difference between those two groups is in your mind 🤔

CalmAzureMaker · 28/10/2025 20:42

he probably kept going back to police station because he couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a hotel room ready for him somewhere!

Another day, another stabbing and murder by an "asylum seeker" in Uxbridge, West London. Yet the "refugees welcome" mumsnetters still rule on this site.

He’ll probably get a 3-bed semi and a 52” flat tv now after his ordeal. Some human rights lawyer friend of 2TK will already be on it.

Yep. Sounds about right

He wasn't an asylum seeker - he was a recognised refugee living entirely legally, in the UK. He entered illegally in 2020, which pre-dates any of the "safe and legal" routes available to Afghan nationals. He was recognised as a refugee in 2022. The Times confirm he was not living in any sort of Home Office accommodation. Stabbings in West London are unfortunately not that uncommon but your suggestion that there are daily murders by asylum seekers is - to use the legal term - bollocks.

Tell that to the bereaved family.

It is not bollocks to say that at least on a weekly basis we are now hearing about violence and sexual assaults against people by men who have come here as asylum seekers. Whether that is last week and they are waiting to be processed, or they have been here a while and have the right to stay.

According to the news the trash has been taken out.

Iamfree · 29/10/2025 11:14

You know I would love the UK to reinstate the death penalty or more easily, not to let all these criminals in. I am so tired of reading the news. And people splitting hair - “it wasn’t a refugee blah blah blah”. I’m also not British but surprise surprise I pay lots of taxes, respect the law and do everything right. So yes it happens. Can’t wait for this lot to go and hopefully we get some better calibre of politicians (I doubt it but still hope)

When I was in the prison service some years ago, there were three prisoners I knew of about to be deported for quite serious offences. I remember having a conversation with a left wing person who said we shouldn't deport people who've made it here under their own steam as they're "just the kind of people we need." That’s pretty much the prevailing opinion among the Liberal left.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 29/10/2025 12:53

He was given 500 quid to send him on his way. Might be a good idea to do the same with others.

He wasn’t ‘fleeing to safety from appalling circumstances ‘ since he asked to go back !!
He like the vast majority of young men who come here illegally are fleeing nothing- they have just been told it’s an easy ride here with free accommodation, free food, get your washing done etc AND earn plenty of untraceable untaxable money too!
£15.3 billion for the hotels alone.
Im sure you could think of a better way to spend that money??

Im sure you have seen since this thread started how a regular man out walking his dog was stabbed to death in the street in broad daylight by a man from Afghanistan who came here in the back of a truck in 2020? Oh and he stabbed two people he lived with two, one a child nd left a 45 yr old man with ‘life changing injuries’.
How many more?
We have enough violent abusive home grown men- we don’t need any more.
And as a woman who only this year reported to the police the abuse I received from Muslim Men in a North East town when I was a child I think I have a right to be afraid and horrified at the sheer number of undocumented men from mainly third world countries we are letting in to roam our streets - and we have the pleasure of paying for them too.

Oh and the difference between the two groups is one of them have no Fuckimg right to be here - twist it into racist bullshit if you want. I’m past caring.
The nightmares I get now after having to relive it all for the police only feature the Pakistani faces l buried for decades.
Does that suit your narrative??

Just in: Mohamed Kadir of no fixed abode sentenced to 16 months for trying to strangle a transport worker who challenged him for travelling in first class without a ticket. Another one we're stuck with.
