An asylum seeker who reportedly threatened to torture his wife and two young children is fighting to stay in the UK.
Eritrean national Andemariam Zeselase, 37, is alleged to have terrorised his family between September 2020 to December 2023, and the police want him to return to face justice said Darren Watts, for the Norwegian authorities.
He is resisting extradition from his taxpayer-funded accommodation because he wants to stay 'secure and safe in the UK', a court heard.
Mr Watts described the alleged offences as 'unpleasant, coercive, and controlling.'
But his lawyer Frank Brazell said Zeselase would prefer not to face a Norwiegan court.
