Nazi-obsessed terrorist who stabbed asylum seeker at lodge in immigrants protest is jailed for not less than 22 years
A knifeman with Adolf Hitler’s signature tattooed on his arm has been jailed for life for the attempted murder of an asylum seeker at a hotel, claiming the attack was a ‘form of protest’ against small boat crossings.
Callum Ulysses Parslow, who wrote his own ‘terrorist manifesto’, stabbed Nahom Hagos in the chest and hand at the Pear Tree Inn at Hindlip, Worcestershire, in April last year after buying a ‘specialist’ $1,000 (£770) knife online.
The 32-year-old tried to tweet the manifesto document before his arrest, claiming he ‘just did my duty to England’ by trying to ‘exterminate’ his victim and tagging Tommy Robinson as well as prominent politicians including Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman, but the message failed to send because he had copied in too many recipients.
Parslow, of Bromyard Terrace, Worcester, was convicted of attempted murder following a three-week trial at Leicester Crown Court last year, and also pleaded guilty to an unconnected sexual offence and two charges of sending electronic communications with intent to cause distress and anxiety.
Mr Justice Dove handed Parslow a life sentence with a minimum term of 22 years and eight months at Woolwich Crown Court today, telling the defendant: ‘You committed a vicious and unprovoked assault on a complete stranger Nahom Hagos who suffered devastating injuries as a result of your violence.’
