A murderer who admits killing up to 400 people – many in bloody machete attacks – is living in the UK after being granted asylum.
John Thuo has been living in a taxpayer funded home since sneaking in illegally from Africa in 2003, and his neighbours are totally oblivious to his grisly past.
For seven years he worked for the Mungiki in Kenya, a criminal mob behind some of the continent’s worst atrocities.
Thuo, 27, admitted at an immigration tribunal to killing “about 100 to 400 people”.
He even said he had taken part in the sickening practice of female genital mutilation.
But despite many attempts to boot him out, Thuo remains here, claiming deportation is against his human rights as he will be killed by the gang on his return.
British police are not monitoring him or even investigating his crimes.
After we tracked him down, Thuo said: “It’s true, I killed a lot of people. I don’t like talking about my past.
“I feel guilty for what I’ve done. I feel remorse.
“I’ve started a new life here and I’m looking for regular work. If I go back they’ll kill me. They’ll behead me.”
Asked if he is monitored by the Home Office, he said: “No, I don’t have to meet anyone. I’m free.
“My life in Kenya is in the past. It’s a different world out there. Out there, all you can do is hope to survive. This is a better place to live.”
Thuo has been living rent-free in accommodation provided by the National Asylum Support Service.
The killer has worked as a removal man but receives £160 a month in pocket money through benefits provided by the NASS.
One neighbour in suburban Coventry said: “He’s quite a big drinker.
“He’ll buy bottles of vodka and get drunk. When he does that he gets aggressive. He doesn’t talk about his past much.
“I had no idea about him killing all those people. It’s terrifying really. There’s a lot of children who live in this street.
“There’s a Mr Whippy ice cream van that parks outside his house. The children line up along the fence to his garden.”
The Home Office has tried to deport Thuo in a series of hearings but it has been unsuccessful.
This is despite Thuo telling an immigration court in London he was a senior member of the Mungiki in the Kariobangi slum of Nairobi, after joining when he was just 10 years old.
The Mungiki recruit child members and Thuo’s first job for the gang was to spy on people who were selling illegal alcohol in the poorest areas.
