Migrant who murdered his mum & brother allowed to stay in UK because he felt ‘anxious’ about being deported

A MIGRANT who had murdered his family was allowed to stay in Britain because he felt anxious about being deported.

Dzhuneyt Shefket, 31, killed his mum Nevdzhin, 36, and brother Yeniz, six, in 2012 in Bulgaria.

Shefket, 18 at the time, served five years in jail.

He failed to disclose his convictions when he came here in 2017 under EU free movement rules.

The tribunal heard: “The murders were of a particularly grave nature.

“They were carried out in cold blood.

“Extreme violence must have been used.

“There is no suggestion at all that the victims were anything other than entirely defenceless.”

When he applied to stay permanently in 2019 the Home Office denied his bid and started deportation proceedings.

A tribunal heard Shefket deliberately failed to disclose his offending to increase his chance of remaining in Britain.

He also argued the threat of going back to Bulgaria, where he is known as a convicted criminal, made him “anxious”.

Last year immigration Judge Moffat ruled he was not a serious threat and could remain.

But the lower court’s decision was quashed on appeal and Shefket is now set to be deported.
