p1, 4 and 5: Asylum scandal of baby killer
A failed asylum seeker who dodged the law for eight years before butchering his baby son in a busy shop was jailed for life yesterday. Illegal immigrant Shahajan Kabir smirked as he slit Hassan Martin's throat with a 12in knife in an act of spite when told he was finally being deported. Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrantwatch UK, said: "This is a classic case of an applicant entirely without merit manipulating the system for years on end."
