A murder victim's family have told of their fury after discovering her killer was an illegal immigrant who should have been deported 20 years ago.
Zimbabwe-born Obert Moyo, 46, had been able to stay in this country despite three previous attacks on women.
He was jailed for life last week with a minimum term of 27 years for stabbing his former partner Perseverance Ncube, 35, through the heart with a foot-long meat skewer in front of her children aged ten and 12.
As he was sentenced, it emerged that jealous Moyo had overstayed on his visa in the early 2000s and went on to commit crimes against women prior to the murder in Salford.
Ms Ncube was an Avon lady known as Percy. Her sister Christine Chiriseri, 28, said the family only discovered the killer was an illegal immigrant after his arrest.
