Victim's mother enters Clarke row


Donovan Gayle was murdered by a Jamaican drug dealer

A woman whose son was murdered by a Jamaican drug dealer has called on the Home Secretary to resign.


Donovan Gayle was stabbed to death in a frenzied attack in Lozells, Birmingham, in April 2005 by Mark Wright, 24, who had been convicted of drug dealing.
Mr Gayle's mother Dorothy said her son's killer should have been deported because he had served time in prison.


A Home Office spokesperson said it is investigating the case to see if Wright was recommended for deportation. Mrs Gayle said Charles Clarke should resign after 1,023 foreign criminals were released without being deported.







Somebody should have to take the blame

Pressure mounts on Clarke "If he had done that crime, why was he still in the country? Maybe if he sent him away then maybe my son would be alive," said Ms Gayle.
Wright was jailed for life in November 2005 for Mr Donovan's murder and was told he would serve at least 18 years in jail.
Ms Gayle said: "He (Charles Clarke) should resign. Somebody should have to take the blame. The blame has to stop somewhere."
Mr Clarke has faced mounting pressure from opposition parties who have called for his resignation after it was revealed foreign criminals who had been recommended for deportation had remained in the UK after serving their sentences.

As I suspected

Apparently, her son was one of thosecats who STOLE CRACK from this drug dealer.

This guy might have been a foreigner, but there are plenty of british-born/ white english dealers who uou put a blade in your heart for stealing their drugs

i sympathise with the women as I do for any mother who has to bury her son, but this is not the type of case that needs to be getting highlighted by the press. I dont think its particuarly worthy

Now if you telling me Danielle Brecon, Keiron Rodney Davis, etcwere killed by foreign criminals who had no business being here, then I can join your revolution
