The court was told that the killer had a psychiatric disorder which caused him to suffer a 'pervasive distrust and suspiciousness' which made him preoccupied with grievances and grudges against those he believed had harmed him....even the ones who don't commit murder.
Lawyers argued that being deported to Uganda would be a 'traumatic event' that could cause his mental condition to deteriorate and that living in an 'alien world' in Uganda, with no friends and separated from his mother who lives in the UK, would add to his 'suspiciousness'.
Frankly, I'd rather the Ugandans took that risk than the British public!
The court accepted that there would be a 'serious, rapid and irreversible decline' in his mental health if he were to be deported and that this would be a breach of his article three rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) which protects individuals against inhumane and degrading treatment or torture. Christopher John Hanson, the senior immigration judge, said he was 'satisfied' that the necessary treatment for ZM's condition was 'either not available or not accessible' to him in Uganda.
Well, that's not true, not true at all.
