NO further appeals will take place over the decision to allow a death crash asylum seeker to stay in this country, the father of the victim has been told.

The decision by immigration judges not to allow a hearing at the High Court could bring an end to a seven-year fight by Paul Houston to deport Iraqi Kurd Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, since 12-year-old daughter Amy’s death in November 2003.

In December an immigration tribunal in Manchester ruled Ibrahim could stay in the UK because of his human rights to a family life. He now has two young children born in the UK and a long-term relationship.

Mr Houston, of Argyle Street, Darwen, said: “The Home Office legal team are looking at it, and seeing if anything else can be done.

“Not one person in this country wants Mr Ibrahim here, not even the Prime Minister, and I will not give up.”

Ibrahim, 33, knocked Amy down as she crossed a road in Highercroft, Blackburn. At the time he was driving while disqualified and without insurance.
