This is illegal immigrant drink driver Aaron Chisango – free to walk the streets of the UK two years after knocking down and killing Black Country schoolboy Jamie Mason.

He was caught on camera for the first time as a free man near his home in Leeds where he is living rent-free on state handouts.

Earlier this week the Express & Star exclusively revealed how the Zimbabwean had been freed from a detention centre and was still in the country two years after the tragic crash.

Jamie, aged 12, was struck in Wolverhampton’s busy Cannock Road exactly two years ago this week.

Chisango, who had drunk whisky the night before the crash, was originally charged with causing death by careless driving while under the influence of drink or drugs.

But the charge was dropped through lack of evidence and Chisango pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of drink-driving and a variety of motoring offences.

He was jailed for two months after knocking down the Wednesfield High School pupil.

He then spent time in a detention centre and is awaiting deportation.

Reports say he has joined the Zimbabwean opposition party in a bid to stay in the UK.

When asked by a reporter in Leeds if he wanted to say sorry to Jamie’s family, he fended off questions with a repeated response of “No, no”. He finally said: “I apologise.”

The Express & Star understands that Chisango, who lived in Telford at the time of the accident, was kept in detention for several months.

Sources say the decision to rehouse him around 100 miles away from the Midlands may have been taken because of the publicity which the case attracted.

Although born in Zambia, the trained nurse has a Zimbabwean passport.

The Government is currently battling to overturn a court order meaning that Zimbabwean nationals cannot be deported back to their war-torn home country because of the dangers they face there.

Jamie’s sister Tracy, 33, said she hoped Chisango’s deportation would give him “some comeuppance”.

She said today: “I just can’t believe we’re still paying for him. He’s been protected all along and we’ve been exposed.

“I want him to be deported. The Express & Star said it all the other night – it doesn’t matter if it’s Zimbabwe or Zambia, he should be booted out, no questions asked.”

She said the Government had fended off her requests for information about Chisango, citing the Data Protection Act.

“He killed Jamie and he shouldn’t have been here in the first place. We’ve got a right to know what happens to him,” she added.

“How much money is all this costing? It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Jamie’s family were outraged at the sentence handed to Chisango.

But in October 2005, they won an historic victory for justice after the Government announced it would bring in new motoring offences with tougher jail terms.

The law change was seen as a triumph for the 50,000 people who put their signatures to the Justice for Jamie campaign.
