One of three men accused of beating an elderly woman unconscious in her own home has been revealed to be a detainee freed from immigration detention.
Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan, 43, was one of 149 people released from immigration detention after the High Court ruled against indefinite detention late last year.
Jamshidi Doukoshkan faced a Perth court in February after breaching some of his bail conditions.
He faced court again from custody on Monday after allegedly breaking into the home of Ninette, 73, and Philip Simons, 76, in Girrawheen in Perth’s north, on April 16.
Mr and Mrs Simons were both inside their home on Allinson Drive when three men allegedly impersonating police officers knocked on their door.
As soon as Mr Simons opened the door he was allegedly pushed to the ground and had his hands bound behind his back.
Mrs Simons was allegedly attacked shortly after with the group holding her to the ground and punching her in the face several times, knocking her unconscious.

It’s further alleged the thieves stole more than $200,000 worth of jewellery and other belongings before fleeing the home on foot.
Mrs Simons said the attack had left her traumatised and severely injured.
‘I am not the same person I used to be, I can hardly stand or walk. I used to be able to go for dancing and its highly unlikely I will do it again,’ she said.
‘The dizziness is driving me crazy.’
Over the weekend, police arrested four people, including Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan, 43, who was one of the immigration detainees released from detention.
He appeared in Joondalup Magistrates Court on Monday charged with aggravated home burglary, assault, detaining someone, robbery and impersonating a public officer.
He was remanded in custody to face court again on June 10.
Mr Doukoshkan was one of the detainees released from Yongah Hill Detention Centre in Perth last November.
A High Court ruling found it was illegal for detainees who could not be deported to be detained indefinitely and he was released into the community with dozens of other detainees.
On March 22, a court order that required Mr Doukoshkan to remain at a fixed address was discontinued after it had been in place for about one month.

WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam said Premier Roger Cook had failed on his promise that the detainees in the WA community would be closely monitored by police.
An Australian Border Force spokesperson said the Department of Home Affairs was aware that an individual who holds a Bridging Visa R was arrested by WA Police on April 28.
‘The safety and security of the community remains the absolute priority for the Australian Border Force and Department of Home Affairs, and we will continue to work closely with our state and territory partners,’ the spokesperson said.
Inquiries are ongoing and one alleged offender remains outstanding.
Detectives urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
