A man has been convicted of attempted murder after stabbing an asylum seeker in a protest against small boat crossings. Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, attacked Nahom Hagos, 25, at the Pear Tree Inn in Hindlip, Worcestershire, as revealed in Leicester Crown Court.
During the trial, Parslow, who admitted to wounding but denied attempted murder, stated that he traveled four and a half miles to the hotel on April 2 to stab “one of the Channel migrants” out of anger and frustration.
The court heard that Parslow, who has an Adolf Hitler signature tattoo on his left forearm, attempted to post on social media before his arrest, claiming he had “just done my duty to England” by trying to “exterminate” his victim.
He has been remanded in custody and is awaiting sentencing at Woolwich Crown Court, with a date yet to be determined.
