Mustaf Jamma is clearly scum. We gave him refuge and he paid us back by perpetrating crimes culminating in the killing of a policewoman. After serving his prison sentence he should have been deported. I suspect that the fact that Somalia is ravaged by a civil war and was hit by the tsunami might have had a bearing on the governments failure to deport him. I think he should still have been deported.
However, we do not now know where he is. John Reid told the Police Federation in May 2006 he would do everything he could to bring Mustaf Jamma back to the UK to face justice. Only problem is, they cannot find him in Somalia.
After the recent trial, it would appear, for the time being at least, that he has escaped justice. We should expect the UK Authorities to make the most vigorous search to find him and see justice done. They have failed to do so.
Then this bogus 'story' appears and instead of there being criticism of the failure to capture Mustaf Jamma, we find ourselves bemoaning the veil. Again.
