A KILLER who immigration chiefs have been trying to boot out of Britain for five years has been set free.
Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, 31, was locked up awaiting deportation after his application for asylum and citizenship was rejected.
But a judge at a special immigration hearing has now released the Iraqi Kurd while he launches a new bid to stay.
Amy Houston, 12, died after she ran into the street and Ibrahim hit her with his car in Blackburn, Lancs, in 2003.
He was jailed for just four months after admitting fleeing the scene and driving while banned.
After several failed bids to kick him out, the UK Border Agency took Ibrahim into custody last year, vowing to deport him “at the earliest opportunity”.
Amy’s father Paul, 39, last night attacked the decision to free him, saying: “He’s laughing at British justice.”
Blackburn MP and Justice Secretary Jack Straw, said: “I am very concerned. I’m making arrangements to speak to the family and with the Home Secretary.”
