A crazed immigrant who stabbed to death two doctors has won the right to stay in Britain - because he would be a threat to the public if deported to his homeland.
A judge has ruled that sending Laith Alani back to Iraq would also be a breach of his human rights.
Alani has spent most of the last 19 years in a secure hospital after he killed two NHS consultants in a frenzied attack because he believed he had received a 'command from Allah'.
The Home Office wanted him deported on his release, but ministers now accept they will have to abide by the ruling of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal giving him the right to stay.
The tribunal panel, led by senior immigration judge Lance Waumsley, made the decision because if he was sent home he would inevitably be taken off the medication which controls his behaviour.
The tribunal judgment stated: 'The potential consequences would be extremely serious for (Alani) himself, and potentially life-threatening for innocent third parties around him in the event of his likely, indeed almost inevitable, relapse into a state of paranoid schizophrenia.'
Alani, 41, who is likely to be released in the near future, has been receiving the drug clozapine on the NHS for ten years. The tribunal was told it was the only medication found suitable to treat his mental condition.
