Andre Babbage, an alleged Zimbabwean criminal who faced deportation and accepted that it was likely for him to abscond was ordered to be released by High Court judge, Justice Garnham.
Babbage, who has 13 convictions, including robbery, assault and supplying cocaine, was likely to abscond and commit further offences. However, Justice Garnham stated that it was unjustified to have Babbage detention continued, as there there was no reasonable potential that the home secretary, Theresa May, would be able to send him back to Zimbabwe.
