A CAKE shop owner can remain in Britain despite being wanted for murder in his home country. 

Carlos Kassimo Dos Santos, 33, was jailed for 14 years in his absence in 2016 over a gang killing in Portugal .

An extradition bid failed when the High Court upheld a decision by a district judge to allow Santos to remain here. 

It was deemed Santos, who denies involvement in the 2010 murder, could not be guaranteed a retrial and it could not be proved he fled justice to come here. 

He is now co-owner of Kings & Queens Dessert outlet, set up three years ago in Leeds .

It recently won a Best Dessert Shop in West Yorkshire award. 

Santos was 18 when he was accused of being part of a group who killed a gang rival near Lisbon. 

He spent two years in the army before coming to Britain, where his dad lives. 

He said he was unaware he was jailed and did not know he had to notify authorities of his address change.

He refused to comment when approached.
