The mother of a woman brutally murdered by an illegal migrant has demanded the government stop ‘scumbags’ entering the UK, asking: ‘When is the next murder?’
Siobhan Whyte joined Reform leader Nigel Farage at a press conference today to call for tougher action to stop Channel crossings.
Her daughter, mother-of-one Rhiannon Whyte, was killed in October 2024 in a frenzied attack by Sudanese Deng Chol Majek.
He is believed to have entered the UK by small boat less than three months killing the migrant hotel worker at Bescot Stadium railway station in Walsall.
Majek, who was branded ‘demonic and inhuman’ by Ms Whyte’s family, was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 29 years for her murder at Coventry Crown Court in February.
Mr Farage used the press conference today to say past and previous UK governments were responsible for her death.

Speaking at a Reform UK event alongside its party’s leader Nigel Farage in Warwickshire, Mrs Whyte said: ‘He took Rhiannon’s life in 90 seconds, stabbed her through the brain stem.
‘He has never shown any remorse, he called forensics liars, he just didn’t care, he didn’t tell us why, he just denied everything. So we’ve had to live with that.
‘Her little boy’s been left without a mum, my children have been left without a sister, and I’ve lost my daughter through these scumbags that were allowed into this country illegally.
‘Something needs to be done, they need to stop allowing them in, because it’s not Rhiannon, who will be next. Sadly there’s children, there’s young girls getting raped. When’s the next murder, and a family having to go through what we’re going through?’
Speaking afterwards Mr Farage said: ‘Who next? There is nothing being done to change any of this. There is no plan with the French, and it doesn’t really matter how much money we send them, because we’ve given them £800 million to stop this since 2014, and I think cases like this genuinely outrage the British public as they should.
‘This murder, this death was wholly unnecessary in every way.’
