New Zealander Reuben Lambie, spent time in an Australian jail for causing the death of a woman at the Exclusive Backpackers hostel in Perth.
A man jailed in Australia for causing the death of a woman in a hostel blaze has breached a condition of his deportation order weeks after he was sent back to New Zealand.
Reuben Lambie was jailed by the Supreme Court of Western Australia in 2021 for setting fire to a hostel in Perth, which killed mother-of-three, Tammee Lee Jones, and injured six others.
He originally faced trial for murder but later pleaded guilty to manslaughter, as well as charges relating to his endangering the lives of others.
