Nazi-obsessed terrorist convicted of attempting to murder asylum seeker

A Nazi-obsessed cutler who stabbed an asylum seeker in the chest in a hotel after writing his own “terrorist manifesto” has been found guilty of attempted murder.

The trial of Callum Ulysses Parslow was told the 32-year-old, who has Adolf Hitler’s signature tattooed on his left forearm, tried to send a message to X before his arrest, claiming he had “just done his duty to England” by trying to “destroy” him sacrifice.

The three-week hearing at Leicester Crown Court heard how the white supremacist stabbed Nahom Hagos in the chest and arm at the Pear Tree Inn in Hindlip, Worcestershire, after buying a “special” knife online for $1,000 (£770) sterling).

Parslow, who denied attempted murder but admitted wounding, told jurors he walked four-and-a-half miles to a country inn on April 2 to stab “one of the Channel migrants” because he was “angry and upset » crossings on small boats.

The jury deliberated for four hours and 18 minutes before finding Parslow guilty of attempted murder on Friday.

The court was told Parslow ran towards a canal after the stabbing, where he was spotted with blood on his hands.

The court heard that as police closed in, Parslow tried to tweet a manifesto document tagging Tommy Robinson and prominent politicians including Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman, but the message could not be sent because he too copied his. many recipients.

In the document, the jury heard, Parslow railed against what he called the “evil enemies of nature and England”, whom he called “Jews, Marxists and globalists” who he said were responsible for the demonization of Christianity, white people and Europeans . culture.

Prosecutor Tom Storey told the court it was clear the manifesto was intended to be published online as it ended with a list of X handles, or tags, which also included tags from UKIP and news outlets including the BBC and GB News.

Laurence Fox, Nick Griffin, Donald Trump, Lee Anderson, Liz Truss, Michael Gove, Lord David Cameron, Richard Tice and Boris Johnson were also on the list of those Parslow tried to include, the court heard.

Mr Storey said a police search of Parslow’s flat in Bromyard Terrace, Worcester, led to the discovery of a second sheath knife, an axe, a metal baseball bat, a red swastika armband, a Nazi-era medallion and copies of Mein Kampf.

Following the stabbing, police decided it gave rise to suspicions that it was a terrorist attack, and Parslow was questioned by police but did not answer questions put to him.

During the Crown’s opening argument, the jury was told that CCTV footage from the Pear Tree Hotel showed the defendant arriving at the hotel and attacking Mr Hagos, who is originally from East Africa.

Blood containing a DNA profile matching that of 25-year-old Mr Hagos was found on the blade of a knife thrown by Parslow, whose email address contained the phrase “lordadolfreborn”.

Details of the trial could not be revealed until the court order was overturned on Friday after Parslow pleaded guilty to an unrelated sex offense and two charges under the Harmful Communications Act.

Parslow was remanded in custody and will be sentenced by Judge Dove at Woolwich Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
