The Albanese government came under further pressure over its handling of detainees on Tuesday night following revelations a man charged with murder was freed from immigration detention last month by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal as he was deemed “a low risk of reoffending”. Emmanuel Saki, 29, has been charged with murder over the stabbing death of 22-year-old Bosco Minyurano on May 12. AAT deputy president Stephen Boyle overturned a 2019 decision to strip the
Sudanese man of his visa and he was released from immigration detention in early April.

Burundi-born Kimbengere Gosoge on Tuesday was handed a one-year jail sentence for each of the six charges laid against him this month for breaching his curfew and failing to maintain his electronic monitoring device.
The court heard Gosoge had fled the east African nation of
Burundi with his younger brother after their father was killed in the civil war. The pair boarded a container ship in South Africa, and sailed to China and The Philippines before arriving at the Kwinana Bulk Terminal south of Perth.
His brother drowned at a beach just two weeks after he was granted a visa, and Mr Mola said his client had struggled to recover from the trauma of that incident.
Gosoge had gone on to marry and have two children. Gosoge’s wife, Mr Mola said, had “struggled with parenthood” and the children had been taken into state care. His wife is believed to still be in Melaleuca women’s prison.
