A failed asylum-seeker who returned to Darfur from Britain under a government repatriation scheme was later murdered by Sudanese security officers, it has been reported.

Adam Osman Mohammed, 32, was shot dead in his home in front of his wife and four-year-old son just days after arriving in south Darfur, it is claimed.
Mr Mohammed, a non-Arab Darfuri, came to Britain seeking sanctuary from persecution in Sudan, where he said his life was in danger.

"The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Sudan's President, Omar al-Bashir, over murders committed during the genocide.

Yet the Government still wants to send back Darfuri asylum-seekers. But it is difficult to understand on what basis the Government is making this decision.

All you who think all Asylum seekers are the same and should all be deported, this is what happens.

As I understand it, Mr Mohammed returned to his native land voluntarily under the Home Office's assisted voluntary return programme. Despite having his asylum application refused twice he was not forcibly deported but was happy to accept a payment to return. It has been shown that many of those who do this subsequently return to the UK for another bite of the cherry.

Yes, it�s a tragic business that anybody should be killed for any reason. But this country cannot accommodate all those who wish to settle here. Unfortunately the world is not the idealistic Utopia that most of us would like and the UK cannot cure all its ills, or accommodate all those who fall victim to them.

It is also puzzling that this was the first safe country Mr Mohammed encountered after fleeing Sudan.

This reinforces the argument that failed asylum seekers should be deported at once.
sounds like he grabbed the dosh and made his own decision Gromit. Perhaps you should dig around a bit more, you never know their must be a case somewhere that backs your view.
