Kuwaiti asylum seeker accused of horrific granny bashing unmasked: Released immigration detainee was already on bail before allegedly carrying out violent home invasion

A recently released immigration detainee accused of bashing an elderly Perth woman in her own home had been in and out of court on other charges this year.

Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan was one of 154 men released from immigration detention after the High Court ruled indefinite confinement was unlawful late last year.

The 43-year-old and two other attackers allegedly beat 73-year-old Ninette Simons until she was unconscious at Girrawheen in Perth's north on April 16.

The three men allegedly arrived at the house Ms Simons shares with her 76-year-old husband Philip pretending to be police. 

Jamshidi Doukoshkan appeared in Joondalup Magistrates Court on Monday charged with aggravated home burglary, assault, detaining someone, robbery and impersonating a public officer. 

He had previously faced Perth Magistrates Court on February 20 charged with two counts of failing to comply with his monitoring conditions by breaching a 10pm-6am curfew.

That day, the Kuwaiti had been granted $5,000 bail after it was not opposed by the Commonwealth but was warned by a magistrate he was 'on very thin ice'. 

Jamshidi Doukoshkan was due to face court again on April 5 but the charges were dropped on March 22, according to The West Australian. 

That same day, a court order that required Jamshidi Doukoshkan to remain at a fixed address was discontinued after it had been in place for about one month. 

Following the decision not to proceed with those charges, Jamshidi Doukoshkan was arrested again. 

This time, he was caught trespassing and driving with an expired licence and fined $400 in Perth Magistrates Court on April 10.

He was apprehended on Sunday and charged over the home invasion at Girrawheen.

The Federal Opposition has called for Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil and Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to be sacked immediately.

'If they can't explain what they're going to do to make sure that this never happens again, then they should both resign,' Liberal Senator James Paterson said.

Mr and Mrs Simons were both inside their home on Allinson Drive when three men allegedly impersonating police officers knocked on their door.

As soon as Mr Simons opened the door he was allegedly pushed to the ground and had his hands bound behind his back.

Mrs Simons was allegedly attacked shortly after with the group holding her to the ground and punching her in the face several times, knocking her unconscious.

It's further alleged the thieves stole more than $200,000 worth of jewellery and other belongings before fleeing the home on foot.

Mrs Simons said the attack had left her traumatised and severely injured.

'I am not the same person I used to be, I can hardly stand or walk. I used to be able to go for dancing and its highly unlikely I will do it again,' she said.

'The dizziness is driving me crazy.'

Police have arrested three other men over the incident and are still searching for one other alleged offender. 

Jamshidi Doukoshkan was released from Yongah Hill Detention Centre in Perth last November.

A High Court ruling found it was illegal for detainees who could not be deported to be detained indefinitely and he was released into the community with dozens of other detainees.

On March 22, a court order that required Jamshidi Doukoshkan to remain at a fixed address was discontinued after it had been in place for about one month.

Western Australian Opposition Leader Libby Mettam said Premier Roger Cook had failed on his promise that detainees in the community would be closely monitored by police.

An Australian Border Force spokesperson said the Department of Home Affairs was aware an individual who held a Bridging Visa R had been arrested by WA Police on Sunday.

'The safety and security of the community remains the absolute priority for the Australian Border Force and Department of Home Affairs, and we will continue to work closely with our state and territory partners,' the spokesperson said.

Inquiries are ongoing and one alleged offender remains outstanding.

Jamshidi Doukoshkan was remanded in custody to face court again on June 10.
