This story doesn’t start good and ends even worse. A former refugee failed to be deported from Canada has cost taxpayers $2 million in legal fees.
The man first came to Canada with fake papers and that’s where the problems started, he has a long list of unimaginable crimes.
The story is extremely graphic and was published by the Toronto Sun, here’s a part of it.
“Following his first trial, Imona-Russel was convicted in 2009 on two counts of sexual assault, threatening death — putting a power drill to her head — assault causing bodily harm and of attempted aggravated sexual assault, endangering the life of his former lover by having unprotected sex.”
Furthermore the Sun reports:
William Imona-Russel is a horrible man. He landed on our doorstep in 2003 from Nigeria with a bogus passport and a fake name and when caught, immediately claimed refugee status. He worked as a labourer for about six months and then went on taxpayer-funded Ontario disability benefits — for an injury he sustained not here, but in in his native country.
When his refugee claim was rejected, Imona-Russel was ordered deported in 2004.
But he never was.
Instead, while appealing on humanitarian grounds, Imona-Russel went on to twice rape a former girlfriend in 2005 and infect her with HIV. And while out on bail on those charges, he raped and murdered Yasmin Ashareh, a 20-year-old part-time supermarket cashier who had just moved into his Etobicoke rooming house and was saving money for her social work program at Sheridan College.
As her mother would tell the court, the system betrayed her daughter, “a Canadian citizen who on the day she was raped and murdered worked eight hard hours to pay tax to a system that was providing HIV medication and disability pension to her killer, and to a man who never had connection to Canada and who, during the short time he stayed, was busy abusing the generosity of the Canadian citizens and legal residents.”
