Murderer cannot be deported because rival gang would kill him
A Jamaican murderer has avoided deportation after claiming he will be targeted by a notorious gang if returned home. The killer won a human rights appeal at an immigration court after telling of his 'fear' of the powerful One Order gang on the Caribbean island. The crime syndicate is said to be affiliated with the Jamaica Labour party and is accused of killings, extortion and drug dealing. The Jamaican man claimed his family members had been killed by the One Order, and his sister had to be put into a witness protection programme. The unnamed migrant – who has been in the UK since 1996 and committed murder – has mounted a legal fight for protection in Britain. He argued that Britain must grant him asylum and not deport him back to Jamaica on human rights grounds because he will be 'targeted' by the One Order. The Home Office tried to deport him and he lost an initial appeal against their decision at a first-tier immigration tribunal.. But, he has now won an appeal at the Upper Tribunal, which ruled he could be at risk from the gang if returned. The Upper Tribunal found the lower court 'overlooked' key concerns about potential dangers for him in Jamaica and did not properly assess his 'credibility'. It ruled that his case must be heard again. The case is the latest revealed by The Telegraph where foreign criminals have used Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to claim they would face persecution if deported. Ministers are planning to rewrite rules to make it harder to allow appeals against removal. The One Order gang is said to be responsible for hundreds of killings over its rivalries with other gangs. One of its leaders, Othneil 'Thickman' Lobban, was this year gunned down and killed by police, sparking a violent backlash that closed schools and businesses. The Upper Tribunal, sitting in Cardiff, was told that the unnamed Jamaican migrant seeking asylum 'fears being targeted in Jamaica by the One Order Gang' as 'his family have been targeted there'. He has been in the UK since 1996, mostly without leave to remain. A judgment said he committed murder but did not specify details, other than that he has been through 'offender management' during his rehabilitation and now shows an 'admirable work ethic'. The Jamaican argued that the first-tier tribunal judge had not properly considered key facts about his concerns about the One Order gang, which the Home Office had not disputed. His sister was in a witness protection programme while his brothers had been shot in Jamaica and the family home was attacked. Upper Tribunal Judge Sean O'Brien said the first-tier tribunal was mistaken in its ruling. Judge O'Brien said: 'The [First-tier Tribunal] judge had overlooked the fact that the core elements of the [Jamaican's] account were not challenged by [the Home Office], had misunderstood [his] evidence about [his] family he claimed had been murdered because of gang retribution and when, and had given no apparent consideration to the attempts made to verify that [his] sister remained in Witness Protection. 'I agree therefore that the judge's findings on the credibility of the [Jamaican's] account of events in Jamaica involved the making of an error of law.' Judge O'Brien cast doubt over elements of the migrant's claims and said because he has been away for so long, he may avoid being targeted. But he said because of the previous 'erroneous' and 'unsustainable' ruling, a fresh hearing must be held. 'All in all, I cannot be satisfied that the judge would necessarily have found that the [Jamaican] would not be at risk from the One Order Gang had she taken a permissible approach to credibility', the judge added.

Jamaican murderer wins bid for asylum after claiming he can't go home due to threats from notorious gang who killed his family
A Jamaican murderer has been granted asylum in the UK after claiming that if he returned home he would be targeted by a notorious gang who killed his family. The killer won the human rights appeal after explaining his 'fear' of One Order - one of Jamaica's most powerful gangs. One Order, which was established over 20 years ago, are said to be affiliated with the Jamaica Labour party and are accused of killings, extortion, and drug dealing. The unnamed Jamaican migrant, who has been in the UK since 1996, claimed that the crime syndicate shot his brothers and attacked their family home. Meanwhile, his sister had to be put into Witness Protection as a safety precaution. Due to the circumstances, the migrant won an appeal at the Upper Tribunal which ruled that he could be at risk from the One Order gang if he were to return. When the Home Office initially tried to deport him, he lost an appeal against their decision at the First-tier Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber. But the Upper Tribunal in Cardiff found that the First-tier Tribunal 'overlooked' key concerns about potential dangers for him in Jamaica and did not properly assess his 'credibility'. It was directed that his case must be heard again. A judgement said he committed murder but did not specify details, other than that he has been through 'offender management' during his rehabilitation and now shows an 'admirable work ethic'. The Jamaican argued that the First-tier Tribunal the judge not take properly consider his concerns about the One Order gang. In Jamaica, the One Order gang is based in the city of Spanish Town, which is in an area of Jamaica that is a hotbed for criminal activity. Earlier this year, the One Order's kingpin Othneil 'Thickman' Lobban was gunned down and killed by police, sparking a violent backlash that closed schools and businesses. Outlining his arguments, the judgement said: '[The Jamaican said] the judge had failed to take into account that the key facts were not disputed by the Home Office. 'The judge was wrong to find [him] vague in naming the One Order Gang as the source of risk. 'The judge misunderstood which family members had been murdered and when. 'The judge failed to take into account the steps taken by and on behalf of the [him] to confirm that [his] sister was in the Witness Protection Programme.'
