Immigration detainee allegedly killed man in late night stabbing weeks after being released

A man who allegedly fatally stabbed a 22-year-old boy in the chest was released from immigration detention and deemed to be at ‘low’ risk of offending again, just a month before the alleged murder.

Emmanuel Saki, 30, is accused of killing Bosco Minyurano on May 12.

Police will allege in court that Saki stabbed Mr Minyurano in a park on Mortimer Rd near Acacia Ridge, south Brisbane, shortly after midnight on Mother’s Day.

Mr Minyurano, from Acacia Ridge, died at the scene despite emergency responders’ efforts to revive him.

The pair are said to know each other.

Saki faced the Richmond Magistrate Court on May 13 for the first time since being charged with murder

It has since been revealed he had only been in the community for a month after being released from Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Center in Western Australia in early April, Nine News reported.

Born in Khartoum, Sudan, Saki’s Australian humanitarian visa was revoked in October 2019 after he failed the character test.

Saki was jailed several times between 2017 and 2018 for violent crimes, including strangling a person unconscious, sometimes bodily harm and assault.

However, the Administrative Court of Appeal overturned the 2019 decision and ordered his release from detention.

Nine News reported that AAT vice-president Stephen Boyle had determined that Saki was ‘now at low risk of reoffending’.

“I also accept that the applicant’s risk of reoffending is low, that he now accepts responsibility for his actions and is remorseful for the harm he has caused,” Mr Boyle said in his ruling.

“I am also aware that… a higher level of tolerance would be shown to non-citizens who have lived in the community for most of their lives or from a very young age.

‘In particular, I consider that the considerations of the strength, nature and duration of the applicant’s ties with Australia, the best interests of minor children, the legal consequences of the decision and the obstacles to the applicant’s ability to obtain a ​to achieve and maintain basic living standards if he were to be returned to South Sudan outweigh the considerations against revoking the visa.”
