Ahsan Sabri, 28, was unlicensed and not properly insured when he ran down 30-year-old writer Sophie Warne. Miss Warne, who had published five books and was writing her first novel, died instantly from a broken neck. An immigration tribunal had previously decided that Sabri, who came to Britain in 1998 aged 18 on a student visa, should be sent home to Pakistan as he had overstayed his visa. However, this decision has been overturned by the High Court after a judge ruled that deporting him would breach his right to "respect for family life". Sabri, who lives in Grays, Essex, married a British woman in 2003 and they had a daughter, who was born last May. Lord Justice Sir Martin Moore-Bick said that if he left Britain, Sabri's wife, Laura Gleeson, 25, a graphic designer and their baby would probably follow and that would "interfere with their private and family life". Miss Warne was hit by Sabri in June 2004 while on a pelican crossing in central London as she made her way home to Brixton, South London, from a party. She started studying history at Pembroke College, Oxford, when she was just 16 and went on to write travel books, including the highly-rated Bradt guide to the west African country of Gabon. In her spare time, she was a Red Cross volunteer and helped refugees. In July 2005, Sabri was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for three years. Last year, an Immigration Tribunal ruled that he should be deported but Sabri, funded by legal aid, appealed. The Home Office is understood to be deciding whether to continue the fight to deport Sabri.

Crikey! I guess Miss Warne's life deserves no respect.
Sheik Rahmen had been ordered deported and was allowed to stay in the US for similar reasons.
The West is tumbling towards the abyss, and America is about to elect someone who will put all his weight behind the push.
We’re not quite that bad.
Not yet.
Let’s so who the president-elect is tomorrow.
It’s coming...
We will if obama gets in.
Ms. Warne and her family are denied respect and that’s perfectly ok? How many lives would be spared and how many crimes would not be committed if officials did their duty?
Deport him, his wife, and his kid. Perhaps it would be better for England if they deported women dumb enough to marry illegal aliens right along with their alien "true love"? (Even if he is not "illegal" she is still a dumbass for marrying an irresponsible jerk.)
What evidence do they have of his "respect for family life"? He ran down an innocent young woman and killed her. Was he respecting HIS "family life" when he did that? He certainly had no respect for HER "family life".
I'm absolutely appalled that Britain has descended so deeply into a pathetic, weak-kneed, socialist h*ll hole.
If we lose today and the Obamessiah wins, we will become the same sorry shell of a once-great nation.
File this under “Suicide of the West.”
No justice but street justice.
Today American showed the World that they are too ignorant and too irreligious to lead the world.
We had a republican Congress to protect US from Clinton.
Not now.
Time to prepare..... for the worst.
The young woman’s family should take care of the situation.
