A man who allegedly fatally stabbed a 22-year-old man in the chest was released from an immigration detention center and was deemed to be at “low” risk of reoffending just a month before the alleged murder.
Emmanuel Saki, 30, is accused of the murder of Bosco Minyurano on May 12.
Police will allege in court that Saki stabbed Mr Minyurano in a park on Mortimer Rd in Acacia Ridge, in Brisbane’s south, shortly after midnight on Mother’s Day.
Minyurano, of Acacia Ridge, died at the scene, despite efforts by emergency services to revive him.
Bosco Minyurano (pictured) was allegedly stabbed to death in a Brisbane park earlier this month.
Apparently, the couple knew each other.
Saki faced Richmond Magistrates Court on May 13 for the first time since being charged with murder.
It has since been revealed that he had only been in the community for a month after he was released from Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Center in Western Australia in early April, Nine News reported.
Born in Khartoum, Sudan, Saki’s Australian humanitarian visa was canceled in October 2019 due to failing a character test.
Saki had been jailed on several occasions between 2017 and 2018 for violent offences, including choking a person unconscious, assault, sometimes actual bodily harm, and assault.
However, the Administrative Appeals Court overturned the 2019 decision and ordered his release.

Nine News reported that AAT vice-chairman Stephen Boyle determined Saki was “now at a low risk of reoffending”.
“I also accept that the applicant’s risk of reoffending is low, that he now accepts responsibility for his actions and is remorseful for the harm he has caused,” Mr Boyle said in his ruling.
‘I am also aware that… a greater level of tolerance would be shown towards non-citizens who have lived in the community for most of their lives or from a very young age.
“In particular, I consider that considerations of the strength, nature and duration of the applicant’s ties to Australia, the best interests of minor children, the legal consequences of the decision and the impediments to the applicant establishing and maintaining standards basic living conditions if they were returned to South Sudan, outweigh the considerations that weigh against revoking the visa cancellation.”
