’12-year-old brother’ of ’30-year-old’ asylum seeker has ALSO been removed from school where they were studying

THE ‘younger brother’ of a suspected 30-year-old pupil has been removed from the school over concerns he too is an adult.

The year 7 – supposedly 12 – has been taken out of classes while officials investigate claims his brother is a married dad.

It follows demands from parents the ‘younger brother’ should be investigated too.

It is understood both Iranian lads arrived in the UK ‘without papers’ with a couple described as ‘their parents’.

The family are said to be living locally to Stoke High School, in Ipswich, Suffolk, after applying for asylum in the UK.

One mum blasted: “It’s nothing personal at all – it’s a simple matter of security.

“If there’s any suggestion there are adults masquerading as children in that school they have to be taken out of lessons until investigators get to the bottom of it.

“If they are investigating one who says he is 15 for potentially being 30 they need to look at the 12-year-old. By the same logic he could be as old as 27.

“Having someone of that age in the school would be totally unacceptable. Safeguarding has to come first.

“I understand people have their reasons for coming to the UK – and you can’t blame anyone for wanting an education.

“But there a proper channels for sorting all of that. Our school’s resources are squeezed enough as it is.”

The 15-year-old under investigation started in year 11 at the school last half-term.

It is understood he travelled from Germany to the UK where he has applied for asylum.

Locals have speculated he needs GCSEs to get a job here – so joined in the final year so he can take the exams next spring.

Pupils also found a Facebook profile in the same name as the pupil. It showed a man with a thick moustache and chest hair swigging from a bottle of beer.

The profile claimed to be of a former architecture student at the Islamic Azad University in Abadan, Iran, who had lived in Erfurt, Germany.

Some outraged parents have removed their children from the school, which has 680 pupils, until a full investigation was conducted.

The Ormiston Academies Trust, which runs Stoke High School, last week asked the Home Office to investigate. The school said the pupil is no longer attending classes.

The Home Office said it was only aware of an investigation over one pupil.
