Terror suspect was on the run

A TERROR suspect whose arrest led to the death of a police detective was a failed asylum seeker on the run from the authorities, it emerged yesterday.

The raid, part of an investigation into the discovery of the deadly poison ricin in north London on January 5, ended in tragedy when another man who was in the flat launched a frenzied attack with a kitchen knife.

Special Branch Detective Constable Stephen Oake, 40, who was not wearing body armour, was fatally stabbed in the chest after going to the aid of other officers.
