Perth, Australia – A shocking incident unfolded in the suburbs of Perth, as police allege that a grandmother was brutally attacked by a freed immigration detainee during a violent home invasion. Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan, a Kuwaiti national, was denied bail following the assault and robbery that took place at the residence of 73-year-old Ninette Simons in Girrawheen. Doukoshkan, along with two accomplices posing as police officers, gained entry to the home where they proceeded to tie up Simons’ husband before violently assaulting her.
The assailants reportedly made off with jewelry and other valuables amounting to $200,000, described by Simons as their “life savings.” In the aftermath of the harrowing ordeal, Simons expressed her disbelief at surviving such a traumatic experience at her age. The incident has sparked outrage and raised concerns over the decision to release Doukoshkan and 153 other detainees from detention in a contentious ruling by the High Court of Australia last November.
While the Albanese Government has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident, reports suggest that the pressure is mounting on officials to expedite the implementation of preventative detention orders. This unfortunate event has also reignited discussions surrounding the safety and security of individuals, particularly in light of the vulnerability faced by cancer patients like Simons.
As authorities continue their investigation into the violent home invasion, the community has been left in shock over the boldness of the attackers and the impact it has had on the victims. The need for stricter measures to prevent such heinous crimes has become a focal point of public discourse, with calls for accountability and justice echoing throughout the neighborhood of Girrawheen. The resilience displayed by Simons in the face of adversity serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit in overcoming unthinkable challenges.
