Asylum seeker Aso Mohammed Ibrahim escaped deportation after a hit and run back in 2003.

Amy Houston, who was the 12 year old schoolgirl that was hit by Ibrahim's car, got trapped beneath the wheel and ran over. After hitting the young girl, Ibrahim drove off and left her for dead. However, the young girl did not die until later in the hospital.

Four months after the hit and run, Ibrahim was finally found and jailed by Blackburn magistrates for driving while disqualified and, of course, failing to stop after an accident. In October, the man was taken into custody by the UK Borders Agency and set for deportation.

However, Ibrahim claimed that it was way too dangerous for him to return back to his homeland. Thus, Ibrahim was able to win a court appeal on whether he would be able to stay in Britain or not. Amy's family had a campaign going for the deportation of the man who killed their daughter.

The UK Border Agency said that they are very disappointed with the court's decision to give them man an appeal. The UK Border Agency said that people will sometimes attempt to fight the removal process like this, but they will do everything in their power to get the man out of Britain as soon as possible.

It is not yet clear if Ibrahim's latest appeal will hold up in court as new evidence is now being reviewed. The father of the young girl who died said that this appeal is an insult to his daughter. He went on to say that this man is laughing at the British justice system, and they should not stand for it.
