KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — A Malaysian-born doctor previously convicted over the drug-related deaths of two prostitutes in Australia has been deported home following his conditional release from prison, the country’s Immigration Minister Scott Morrison confirmed.

According to the Daily Telegraph Australia today, Dr Suresh Nair, who has reportedly spent tens of thousands of dollars on his sex addiction and cocaine, left Australia on Tuesday.

The neurosurgeon grew up in Australia but remains a Malaysian citizen, the report said.

“I take very seriously my role in protecting the Australian community from the risk of harm by non-citizens who engage in criminal conduct,” Morrison was quoted saying by The Daily Telegraph Australia.

It was previously reported that Morrison had revoked Dr Suresh’s visa the day before his parole release on July 31.

In February 2009, 23-year-old prostitute Victoria McIntyre died in Suresh’s high-end apartment from a cocaine overdose, with the doctor later pleading guilty to providing the drug.

The decomposing body of a 22-year-old Brazilian prostitute, Domingues Zaupa, who similarly died of cocaine overdose in his apartment on November 2009 was discovered a few days later. Suresh was jailed in 2011 for her manslaughter.

His jail sentence of five years and three months was reportedly shortened after an appeal.

He was previously banned from a public hospital in Sydney after drug tests on him in 2004 returned a positive result on cocaine.

But he later continued to work in a private hospital in September 2009 after the state medical board there considered him fit to carry out surgeries.

A psychiatrist had in a May 2009 report told the Health Care Complaints Commission that Dr Suresh was fit to operate as he was in remission from his cocaine and alcohol problems.

After Zaupa’s death in November 2009, Dr Suresh’s medical licence was revoked by the New South Wales (NSW) medical board.

The same medical board was not informed of the first death when it occurred, with the NSW Medical Council reportedly saying that there would have been an immediate hearing and he would have likely been suspended as a doctor.

Dr Suresh was also said to have carried out clumsy spinal surgeries that left his patients in severe long-term pain.
