The homeless man whose death yards from Parliament was decried by Jeremy Corbyn was a migrant sex offender, it has been disclosed.

The former model from Portugal who was found in Westminster underground station has been confirmed as 35-year-old Marcos Amaral Gourgel.

Flowers were left at the scene of his death by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn with a note reading: “This should never have happened. As a country we must stop walking by.”

But Portuguese government officials confirmed that the man, of Angolan origin, had been deported from the UK twice before in 2014 and 2016.

Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha also claimed his first deportation happened after he served prison time for sexually abusing a child.
