A man who allegedly fatally stabbed a 22-year-old in the chest had been freed from immigration detention just one month before the alleged murder.

Emmanuel Saki, 30, was charged with murdering Bosco Minyurano on May 12.

Police will allege in court that Mr Saki stabbed Mr Minyurano in a park on Mortimer Rd at Acacia Ridge, in southern Brisbane, about 12.10am on Mother’s Day.

Mr Minyurano, of Acacia Ridge, died at the scene despite emergency services arriving to assist.

The pair were allegedly known to each other.

Mr Saki, who faced Richmonds Magistrate Court on May 13 for the first time since being charged with murder, had only been in the community for one month after being released from Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Centre in Western Australia in early April, Nine News reports.

Born in Khartoum, Sudan, Mr Saki’s Australian humanitarian visa was cancelled in October 2019 due to his failing the character test.

Mr Saki had been jailed on several occasions between 2017 and 2018 for violent offending, including choking a person unconscious, assault occasionally actual bodily harm and assault.

However, Administrative Appeals Tribunal overturned the 2019 decision and ordered he be released from detention.

Nine News reported AAT deputy president Stephen Boyle determined Mr Saki was “now 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 that he has caused,” Mr Boyle said in his ruling.

“I am also mindful that … a higher level of tolerance would be shown to non-citizens who have lived in the community for most of their lives or from a very young age.

“In particular, I find that the 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 basic living standards if he were to be returned to South Sudan, outweigh those considerations weighing against the revocation of the cancellation of the visa.”
