The man accused of murdering a Sandringham dairy worker was deported from Australia earlier this year, the Herald on Sunday understands.
After he was deported, he wound up in emergency housing in South Auckland.
The grounds for his deportation from Australia cannot be reported for legal reasons.
The man, 34, is accused of killing dairy worker Janak Patel on Wednesday night at the Rose Cottage Superette in Fowlds Ave, Sandringham. The newly married man was working in the shop while its owners were out of the country. He suffered stab wounds and died shortly after calling for emergency help.
A funeral for Patel is scheduled for tonight in Wiri.
