RACISM CUTS BOTH WAYS

Racist Murder in Britain – The Shocking Truth

“To put it as simply as possible: if you wanted to draw a police profile of the typical racist murderer in Britain in the seven years covered by the IRR report, he would be forty times more likely to be non-white than white.”

An epidemic of anti-white racist violence and murder is being covered up by the government, the Police and the media. The shocking truth about the extent of this fatal failure of the multi-racial ‘experiment’ has been unearthed by a BNP research team working in response to the report on racial murder in Britain issued at the start of August 2006 by the Institute for Race Relations.

The IRR Report - - shocking but also flawed

The widely-publicised Institute for Race Relations study claimed that there had been 45 race murders in Britain since the publication of the McPherson Report. It named the victims as:

Andrea Dykes, John Light, Nicholas Moore, Stelios Economou, Harold (aka Errol) McGowan, Liaquat (aka Bobby) Ali, Joseph Alcendor, Ben Kamanalagi, Hassan Musa, Zardasht Draey, Jason McGowan (1999), Zahid Mubarek, Santokh ‘Peter’ Singh Sandhu, Kombra Divakaren, Jan Marthin Pasalbessi, Glynne Agard, Mohammed Asghar, Abdi Dorre, Tariq Javed, Khaliur Rahman, Sarfraz Khan (2000), Gian Singh Nagra, Fetah Marku, Shiblu Rahman, Shaun Rodney, Sharon Bubb, Firsat Dag (2001), Peiman Bahmani, Shah Wahab, Derrick Shaw (2002), Mohammed Isa Hasan Ali, an unnamed Asian man, Paul Rosenberg, Johnny Delaney, Awais Alam, Quadir Ahmed (2003), Kris Donald, Shahid Aziz, Akberali Tayabali Mohamedally, Bapishankar Kathirgamamathan, Kalan Kawa Karim, Lalji Joshi, (2004), Marek Smrs, Kamal Raza Butt, and Anthony Walker (2005).

Unfortunately, this list – widely used in the media as evidence of white racism – is artificially inflated. The first three names are those of the victims of David Copeland’s ‘homophobic’ attack on the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho. Clearly the victims of a hate crime, these three whites murdered by a racist who also loathed homosexuals nevertheless have no place on a list of racist murders. If the Soho Bombing was to be included, then it would be in order to balance that by listing the 7/7 Bombings’ dead as the victims of minority racism, but we believe that both sets of murders involved politically motivated terrorism and have no place in the figures on racist killings. That brings the figure down to 42.
Kriss Donald was the 15-year-old white victim of what was probably the most sadistic racist murder in British history. The IRR couldn’t even spell his name correctly but, in any case, he does not belong in a list whose clear purpose is to portray racist murder as a crime against coloured people. That leaves 41.

Three of the alleged victims – Jason McGowan, Shaun Rodney and Harold McGowan – were found dead in circumstances that led the police, even after the white racism hysteria that gripped the Force after McPherson, to conclude that they had committed suicide. That leaves 38.
Fetah Marku was a Kosovan who was beaten to death by a black gang and Kamal Raza Butt died after being punched in a scuffle by a black and mixed-race gang in a heavily multi-racial area of Nottingham. In order to have a true picture of the extent of the problem of white racist violence, both men must therefore be removed from the list. That leaves 36.

A number of the other victims also died in circumstances which make it distinctly questionable whether or not race was a factor. The drug addict who murdered Lalji Joshi, for example, had earlier attacked a number of other homeless people who happened to be white; the passenger who murdered Sarfraz Khan was “off his head on drugs” at the time. Mohammed Asghar was stabbed to death in a fight outside his restaurant, but the jury found that the white defendant had acted in self-defence. Kombra Divakaren was beaten to death by a youth gang who he caught robbing his shop. Although Tariq Javed was murdered by white passengers in his taxi, the police said there was no evidence of any racial motivation. Ben Kamanalagi was a bouncer who was beaten to death in retaliation for having thrown a man out of the club where he worked.

Despite the question mark over these six deaths, however, we will accept them as racially motivated, and then use the same IRR assessment criteria in our parallel study of white victims of racial murder. The IRR report claims that the cases it lists have a “known or suspected racial element …. Many investigated by the police as possible racial crimes.” Their definition of suspicion is clearly broad (significantly broader than the standard that we have set in our assessment of cases involving whites), but broadly conforms with the recommendation of the McPherson Report itself, under which any incident is to be regarded as racial if it is perceived as such by someone – whether the victim, their family, members of the local community or political analysts.

Broadly accepting the IRR’s own assessment, and only removing from their list the most obvious propaganda exaggerations, we accept for the sake of comparison the figure of 36 recorded non-white victims of racially motivated killings by white criminals since February 1999. Clearly this is a shocking figure and one which, taken alone, suggests that there are serious problems festering at the heart of the ‘multi-racial experiment’.

The Forgotten White Victims

The marked tendency of the police and the media to play down or even ignore incidents of all levels of seriousness when white people are the victims rather than the perpetrators of racial attacks makes it very difficult to collate a comprehensive list of the white victims of racial murder.

The incidents covered in our own investigation into the problem have mainly been traced and recorded with the help of local newspaper reports submitted via the Internet. It is highly likely that the apparent ‘increase’ in the racially motivated killings of white victims from 2001 onwards is in fact accounted for by the growth of Internet use in collecting the details of the attacks, and that the figures for previous years therefore underestimate the full extent of the problem.

It will be noted that, in a number of the cases listed, we have been unable to provide information about the eventual outcome of any trial. This lack of information is in itself a symptom of the way in which such cases are often downplayed or even completely ignored by the media.
Also, the reporting mechanism on which we rely is ad hoc and provides us with patchy coverage of the country, and that the individuals passing on such details are in turn only able to provide details if they are published in their local newspapers, it is therefore probable that the following list is in no way complete. Even in its incomplete form, however, the list of white victims of racially motivated killings in Britain between February 1999 and the start of August 2006 is deeply shocking. In order to show that problem has not gone away, we intend to keep updating the list, but for the purposes of this statistical study we have made our calculations on the basis of the cases listed below from 1999 up until the killing of Steven Jeeves on July 26th 2006.

The individual, family and community tragedies involved in each one of the brief accounts of racially motivated (defined according to Institute for Race Relations practice) murder are beyond comprehension. The statistics for racial murder in Britain in 2006 can, by contrast, be readily understood and are best expressed as a ratio…and it is virtually 4:1, i.e. nearly four whites killed for every non-white killed.

The grotesque racial disparity involved in these figures can be understood by considering the percentage of ethnic minority groups within the population as a whole. In the last Census, racial minorities made up approximately 9% of the population, and this is the figure we therefore need to use.

The crime ratio SHOULD be equal to the population ratio. So non-whites should be committing approximately 9% of any given crime. However, out of a total of 178 racial murders – NB: this figure was that studied in August 2006, when this paper was begun - they are actually committing 79% of these crimes from a base of only 9% of the population. Thus non-whites were, in the period 1999 – 2006, a staggering 39.9% times more likely to be committing racial murders against white people on a per capita basis than the other way round. White victims are over-represented to the same degree – effectively forty times what they should be.

To put it as simply as possible: if you wanted to draw a police profile of the typical racist murderer in Britain in the seven years covered by the IRR report, he would be forty times more likely to be non-white than white. And such a profile should be drawn up – and widely publicised – because until people understand what is going on, and asking why, there is no chance of stopping more and more innocent people falling foul of this hidden scourge of multi-racial Britain.

Anyone who doesn’t believe that the media are biased should put the names of coloured victims on the Institute for Race Relations list, and the names of white victims on our list, into Google and contrast the resulting links to media coverage.

One final point:

While the assailants in the cases listed here are members of ‘ethnic minorities’, this must under no circumstances be taken to indicate that “all murderers are black” or any such racist nonsense. Nor should anyone shocked by the sheer scale of this epidemic of anti-white racist violence be tempted to ‘take it out’ on innocent members of non-white communities. The people who should be blamed for this hidden scandal are the politicians who created the multi-cultural ‘experiment’, and the media editors, police chiefs and local and national politicians who have deliberately drawn a curtain of silence around so many of these victims and the misery of their loved ones.

BILLY WARD. 21. December 2007. Croydon.

Billy Ward was stabbed to death after an argument with Starfield Badza, 18, of Croydon, and Junior Lumbango, of Friars Wood, Pixton Way, Forestdale on a bus as it travelled through Croydon. Billy was returning home after a night out with friends, and was found with multiple stab wounds at Gravel Hill, at the junction with Selsdon Park Road, and died in Mayday Hospital less than an hour later. Whilst even the Sunday Mirror had the integrity to put out a description of his attackers, the BBC, knowing full well who the police were looking for, shamefully refused to offer anything more than a reference to, “two suspects”.

Now normally in these cases the police do their very best to help “community relations” by putting very subtle pressure on the grieving family to drop any kind of racial angle. Contrast this to the huge police and media circus that would have followed had the role of the victim and murderers been reversed.

STUART LOWE. 18. October 17th 2007. Warrington.

Stuart Lowe, 18, was killed in Warrington, when Sibongiseni Majola struck him about the head with a screwdriver and kicked him while on the ground. Stuart had suffered a massive brain injury and although he clung to life for seven days, he died a week later without regaining consciousness.

Majola, from Warrington, was sentenced to life behind bars, with a recommendation he serve at least 12 years before he can be considered for parole. The court heard that joinery apprentice Stuart had gone to a party at The Bank Quay Social Club on October 17. It finished at 11pm and led to up to 100 young people, mostly students, milling around on the streets outside.

Majola, armed with a screwdriver, was accompanied by a friend who was armed with a shovel, walked along Sankey Street they came across Stuart Lowe with his friends, making their way home.

Although Stuart was not involved in the initial fight, an altercation developed between the two groups, and Majola struck his head with the screwdriver. Witnesses say Majola kicked Stuart as he lay on the floor before running off.

JASON SPENCER. 17. October 11th, 2007. Nottingham.

Jason Spencer, was stabbed to death by Reuben Valentine in a dispute about a torn jacket in Nottingham. Judge Michael Stokes said Valentine was “barbaric and evil” and told him he must serve at least 16 years. The court was told Valentine had become angry when his jacket was torn during a play fight.

Valentine attacked Jason Spencer and stabbed him eight times, with two of the blows piercing his heart. The court heard evidence the Valentine became angry after his jacket was torn and demanded £60 to replace it.

The jury was then told that when Jason offered to sew it up, Valentine punched him in the face and was hit back. Speaking after the verdict, John Greensmith, Jason’s stepfather, said: “We will never see Jason grow up, have girlfriends, get married or make Angela a grandmother. He has been snatched away from us because some evil person attacked him, showing no mercy. He took the life of such a special person.”

KEITH COWELL, 52. MATTHEW COWELL, 17. August 30th 2007, Bishop’s Stortford.

Keith Cowell, 52, and his son Matthew, 17, were shot dead at their home along with a third man, Tony Dulieu, 33, of Billericay, Essex. Matthew’s girlfriend, Clare, and Keith’s 54-year-old sister, Christine, were also badly hurt in the attack in Plaw Hatch Close, Bishop’s Stortford, Herts.

Six people were charged for the triple killings: Kevan Thakrar, 20, of Lomond Way, Stevenage; his father, Atul Thakrar, 46, also of Lomond Way, Stevenage; Amanda Dansie, 20; Jay Thakrar, 24; Miran Thakrar, 23; and a sixth person not named to “protect the integrity of the case.”
According to police, the killers used knives in the attack on Christine because they ran out of bullets.

ANDREW HOLLAND. 16. August 17th 2007. Bolton, Lancs.

Mahmud Maksoudian, aged 21, of Madams Wood Road, Little Hulton, was sentence to life imprisonment for stabbing teenager Andrew Holland to death outside Ashy’s chip shop in Plodder Lane, Farnworth.

Andrew was one of two 16-year-old boys attacked outside Ashy’s Takeaway at about 10.50pm on a Friday night, following an argument thought to involve one of the victims. Police found Andrew, of Trentham Gardens, Farnworth, collapsed and bleeding. Both teenagers were taken to Rochdale Infirmary where Andrew later died.

KEVIN BECKINGHAM. 35. February 12th 2007. Plumstead

Disabled Kevin Beckingham was throttled to death at his carer home in Nithdale Road, Plumstead, by Khorram Azim, 34, of Wood Place, Chislehurst Road, Sidcup. The Old Bailey heard how Azim killed Beckingham with his own hands using a choke hold from the American martial art of catch wrestling.

Azim had been hired by Beckingham as a personal fitness trainer, and, after taking advantage of the disabled man’s hospitality, brutally murdered his victim and then tried to pin the blame on his best friend. Azim, who was described as “manipulative” and “aggressive”, stabbed Mr Beckingham in the neck after choking him to death, to make it look like he had been killed by an intruder.

Prosecuting, Victor Temple said Azim had “staged managed” the murder scene, with Beckingham found lying face down and his arm outstretched towards a syringe. Beckingham could not use a syringe and had no need to use one.

JAMES HOULISTON. 44. July 12th 2007. Hackney.

James Houliston, 44, of Regan Way was beaten to death by a man described as a “dark-skinned Asian” by eyewitnesses in a busy Hoxton park. Police announced that they were “keen to trace a dark-skinned Asian man in his late teens, who is about 5ft 11ins tall.” No follow up report ever appeared as to the outcome of this case.

KEITH BROWN. 52. July 6th 2007. Normacot, Longton, Staffordshire.

At around 4pm on Friday 6th July 2007 Staffordshire Police attended what they described as a ‘neighbour dispute’ in Uttoxeter Road, Normacot, Longton. The dispute, the police told reporters, was over a strip of land between two properties. Paramedics took two men to Stoke - on - Trent’s University Hospital. A 52-year-old man was pronounced dead on arrival and a 19-year-old was later discharged with minor injuries.

In the immediate aftermath of the above ‘neighbour dispute’ Stoke Police arrested four men. They arrested a fifth man and a 14-year-old girl. By the Sunday evening, the girl had been released without charge and two men, aged 32 and 19, had been released on Police bail; three other men, 49, 24 and 26 had been detained for questioning and a 49-year-old had been charged with Keith Brown’s murder. A post-mortem investigation revealed that Keith had died from a single stab wound in the back.

What the above, stark, media information did not tell readers and viewers was that Keith Brown was a white man and that his attackers were a family of Muslim neighbours. A senior police officer acknowledged that the above dispute had built up ‘over the past couple of years’. The police also confirmed that the man charged with Keith’s murder would appear before magistrates on Monday 9th July.

On that date the Stoke Sentinel newspaper reported that North Staffordshire magistrates sitting at Fenton had denied bail to Habib Khan, a neighbour of Keith Brown’s from Uttoxeter Road, Normacot and that Khan had been charged with the murder. A District Judge ‘ordered Khan to appear at Stafford Crown Court on Monday July 16th. As of late – September 2007 Habib Khan still awaited trial. Four other men arrested for the attack were released on police bail pending further enquiries.

So convinced were Mr. Brown’s family that the murder, and the harassment that preceded it, was racially motivated, that they invited the BNP’s six councillors in Stoke to be the pall bearers at Keith’s funeral.

MARTIN DINNEGAN. 14. June 26th, 2007. Islington, North London.

On 10th July 2007 the family and friends of 14-year-old stabbing victim Martin Dinnegan gathered for a mass at St. Mellitus, Tollington Park, Finsbury. After the mass they walked to the murder scene, at the corner of Tollington Way and Axminster Road, in Islington, where they staged a peace service. Since the stabbing and death of their 14-year-old son, by a gang of black teenagers on bikes, on the evening of 26th June 2007, Martin’s parents have condemned teenage gang violence and have called on Gordon Brown to halt Britain’s worsening knife culture. Mrs. Dinnegan has also criticised the way in which teenage gangs dominate her area at night and how Tollington Park has become a No Go Area for local residents.

Mrs. Dinnegan told the ‘thisislondon’ website: ‘It is horrendous. We are totally shattered.’ As a wall of floral tributes grew at the murder scene various versions of the incident were circulating. One version has Martin being chased by a group of up to 10 youths then fatally stabbed. Other versions place all the action at the above murder scene close to a fish and chip shop in which Martin often played on games machines.
The Dinnegan family were initially told by the police that Martin seemed to have been the victim of a robbery, by five black youths on bikes, which had escalated into a stabbing. However, Martin’s mobile phone was later found on the pavement so robbery was not the motive. The Police then told the family and reporters that Martin was a group of youths who got into a series of verbal exchanges with another group of 15-20 youths. That row became a gang fight and resulted in Martin’s stabbing. However the stabbing developed a friend of Martin’s later learned that Martin was stabbed for looking or staring at a black youth. A friend of Martin’s told the family that a lot of youths were fighting and that he turned and saw Martin’s body on the ground. Two months before his death Martin had been assaulted in a similar exchange between youth groups.

A different version of his death has Martin walking away from the fight scene with two older boys. Martin breaks away to buy chips and his two friends walk on. Unhappy about leaving Martin on his own his friends walk back and see him being attacked and falling to the ground. They run to help him and try to give pulmonary resuscitation. Their efforts and those of paramedics failed and Martin died at the scene. The chip shop manager told reporters that he heard Martin calling out as he was stabbed: “What did I do? What did I do?” Martin’s friends were seen trying to put him into the recovery position but when he was moved his back was seen to be covered in blood. The chip shop manager now cannot sleep and recalls how Martin’s “lips were blue, his eyes were staring and his face was white.”

As Martin’s mother told the Islington Gazette, her son was attacked because he was looking the wrong way at one of a group of black youths who were on bikes: “it ended up with Martin being stabbed. I think he was knocked unconscious with a motorbike helmet then stabbed 4 times in the back. How horrendous is that?” On 30th June 2007 a 15-year-old Islington youth appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court charged with murder. As the deputy head of Martin’s school, the St. Aloysius R.C. College in Hornsey Lane, Highgate, spoke of Martin’s popularity and the school’s shock at his death a senior Police officer lamented the loss of another young life and papers like the Muswell Hill Times opened website condolences boards. One school girl wrote of how she had secretly loved Martin and would now never know how things might have been.

BEN HITCHCOCK. 16. June 23rd 2007. Beckenham, London.

Ben Hitchcock died after he was stabbed in a fight in Southend Road, Beckenham, at the junction with Calverley Close, at 11.36pm. Eyewitnesses described youths wielding metal chains, poles and pick-axe handles in the fight, which is now the subject of a murder investigation.

Ben, who was a Year 11 pupil at Kelsey Park Sports College, in Manor Way, Beckenham, was taken to Lewisham Hospital by ambulance, where he was pronounced dead. Lee Hitchcock, of Blean Road, Beckenham, said: “My son was loved very much by his family and many friends. His last words were “Please help me, phone my mum.”

At a press conference at Southend Road, Detective Superintendent Simon Morgan said: “Up to 40 youths were involved in the incident which began when approximately six boys were barred from entering a party in a nearby location.

“Police arrived and the party was closed. A group left the party and the incident took place shortly afterwards. Neighbours from the flats overlooking the scene have described the “mayhem” of a “terrifying” incident. An ex-police officer, who does not want to be named, described how the incident unfolded. He said: “We heard lots of shouting in the street and all of a sudden there were somewhere between 30 to 40 youths there. “There was one large gang who seemed predominantly black, who came from the direction of Lewisham.”The other gang came from the direction of Beckenham and seemed to be mixed. “They were carrying pick-axe handles, metal scaffolding poles and other homemade weapons and swinging chains above their heads.”They seemed to be big guys and they all pulled their hoodies up when they were around 50 yards away from each other.

Fourteen gang members were arrested in connection with the attack, including one girl. All 14, who are aged between 13 and 16-years-old, were bailed.

JON HENRY. 36. June 11th 2007. Luton.

Tennyson Obih, 27, was charged with the murder of PC Jon Henry, 36, was stabbed after responding to reports of an assault in Luton’s George Street. Obih was also charged with the attempted murder of two window cleaners - Steven Chamberlain and David Knight.

Despite his police-issue body armour Pc Henry suffered stab wounds to the neck and died later at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital.
Pc Henry, whose daughter Maggie was just under one year old at the time of the incident, had been on duty for less than 30 minutes before he was murdered.

KATE BEAGLEY. 32. June 4th 2007. Oxhey Woods, nr. Watford.

Kate Beagley, 32, was killed in a frenzied attack as she sat on a park bench at a beauty spot overlooking the river Thames. Karl Taylor, 27, of Covent Garden, central London, a fitness trainer, was jailed for life in March 2008 for murdering her on their “first date” in May 2007.
Her naked body was found four days later with 31 stab wounds to the face and neck. After his arrest, Taylor led police to Beagley’s body dumped in nettles in Oxhey Wood, north of London. He had driven her there in the boot of her grey VW Golf car, which Taylor told police he had intended to steal when he met her.

The trial heard Taylor had gone on the date armed with a knife, which he placed up his sleeve as he sat with Beagley in the Roebuck pub in Richmond Hill, south-west London.

Peter Clarke QC, prosecuting, said Taylor told police he stabbed Beagley during an argument after telling her: “All I want is your car.”
He told police: “She pushed me away. She was grabbing me and I stabbed her in the throat. I constantly and consistently cut her in the neck because she was going for my face.”

Taylor removed her clothes and washed her body with mineral water before dumping it, the court heard. He later showed off the car to friends and family, and sold Beagley’s mobile phone to a friend.

SAMANTHA ANDERSON 29. May 26th 2007. Newcastle.

Asylum seeker Ari Abdullah was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing nursery nurse Samantha Anderson in a ferocious attack. The pair had been engaged but Abdullah, who could be freed after serving less than 12 years of the life term, had been jealous during their time together and cautioned for assaulting her. When Samantha called at his flat in Vallum Court, Elswick, Newcastle, to collect mail, the Iraqi-born Kurd launched a “relentless” armed onslaught.

Factory worker Abdullah, 30, lashed Samantha about the head with his heavy weightlifting belt, Newcastle Crown Court heard. He grabbed a long-bladed kitchen knife and used it on Samantha repeatedly as she fought in vain for her life.

And by the time Abdullah buried the blade through her heart, Samantha had suffered 14 deep stab wounds to her torso and more than 30 other injuries. Her killer, who had drunk a bottle of whisky, doused her and the bloodstained flat with petrol in a bid to cover his tracks. But he never lit the fuel and was found slumped with self-inflicted knife wounds beside Sarah’s body hours after the killing. Jailing him for life, Judge John Milford said: “Not long after Miss Anderson arrived you attacker her and subjected her to a sustained assault with both a weight belt and then a large knife, stabbing her no fewer than 14 times.

“Against this attack she tried to defend herself but a wound to her heart caused catastrophic blood loss and death. You have taken a young life and devastated thereby her loving family.”

Judge Milford, who said he gave Abdullah credit for his guilty plea to murder and good work record since arriving in the North East in 2002, ordered he must serve a minimum of 11 years eight months before he can be considered for release.

ANDREW OWEN. 42. April 15th, 2007. Coronation Gardens, Sedgley.

South African nationals Gabriel Bhengu, 26, and Jabu Mbowane, 25, of Wolverhampton, were charged with the murder of Andrew Owen, 42, from Sedgley, West Midlands. He was the victim of a robbery and murder committed by the two while walking home from his local public house.

A 21-year-old woman, Kashia Allen, also of Wolverhampton, was also charged with conspiracy to rob.

NEIL WILLIAMS. 41. May 5th 2007. Telford.

Gabriel Bhengu, 26, and Jabu Mbowane, 25, South Africans of Court Road, Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton, who were tried in early May 2007 for the murder of Andrew Owen (above), were also charged with the murder of Neil Williams.

Telford man Neil Williams’ body was found in Stirchley on 6th April, some twenty miles from where Andrew Owen’s body was found.
Like Owens, Williams was robbed and murdered while walking home from his local pub. The accused had also been arrested for a string of similar robberies in Sedgley, Telford and Dudley

PAUL KELLY. 32. May 5th, 2007. Bath.

Having tried to calm a Longacre Tavern, Bath, New Year’s Eve row between his friends and a black woman and her friends 32-year-old Glaswegian Paul Kelly later found himself trying to stop the dispute as it again flared up outside the pub. Shortly after midnight, as Paul tried to halt the row and a crowd gathered around the two groups, a black teenager who had no obvious ties with the black female and her friend, lunged forward and several times stabbed Paul. Stabbed through the heart, Paul died instantly.

By April 2007, Bath Police had arrested 11 people and had arrested and interviewed a teenager regarded as the chief suspect. None of the twenty or so witnesses who saw the stabbing, however, had yet named or fingered the above teenager and an entire community, wrote a Guardian journalist, was apparently living in fear of the teenager and his cronies. Police officers seeking Paul Kelly’s murderer still had no real evidence with which to charge their prime suspect and a wall of silence contrasted starkly with the anonymous A4 leaflet flyposted around Bath which named the alleged teenage killer.

A frustrated senior Police officer said that the case and the public’s fear of gangland retribution were unprecedented but it was hoped that a large reward and a Crimewatch reconstruction of the murder would persuade someone to break that silence. In early May a senior Police officer told BBC News On-line that the silence remained unbroken but that he was confident that the murderer would be traced and convicted.
The author of the poem on the leaflet implied that there was a racial motive to the killing. This led to race relations officials and activists saying that Bath’s ethnic minorities are not fairly served by municipal and other community services and that there is underlying racial tension.

TIMOTHY SMITH. 40. May 1st 2007. Nottingham.

A teenager on a BMX allegedly stabbed journalist Timothy Smith at a Nottingham bus stop after he bumped into him on the pavement, a court heard.

Rickell Patterson, of Norland Close, St Ann’s, is accused of murdering journalist Timothy Smith in Upper Parliament Street, at around 6.30pm.
Lynne Tayton, prosecuting, told Nottingham Crown Court that Patterson, nicknamed ‘Rizzle’, stabbed Mr Smith in his chest after the collision and a 30-second scuffle.

Patterson, then 16 now 17, was one of four black youths who then fled on their BMX bikes, the court heard. Patterson answered no comment in his police interview but provided officers with a prepared statement in which he denied intentionally killing Mr Smith and said the older man was the aggressor after their collision.

“The defendant claims he only meant to stab him in the arm,” Ms Tayton said. Patterson disposed of the knife in a flooded area of Sycamore Park, from where it was later recovered by police. Ms Tayton said the defendant also changed his top because it had blood on it. Smith, a court reporter previously employed in Leicester, had moved to Nottingham to seek freelance work.

At the time of the incident he was reading a bus timetable and eating a cheeseburger having spent the afternoon surfing the internet at Nottingham Central Library.

THOMAS FAHEY. 41. April 6th, 2007. Streatham, South London.

Thomas Fahey was shot in the chest during a June 2006 botched armed robbery at the Streatham High Road offices of family firm Fahey Roofing Limited. Thomas was shot, in the chest, while, with others, chasing Hallroy Reid, 40, and Damian Ellis, 25, the two would-be robbers who fled the scene after the £11,000 wages cash failed to appear at its usual time. Thomas Fahey, a former postal worker, died six months after the incident in January 2006. He left behind a partner and a 6-month old daughter.

In April 2007 Reid, unemployed and of no fixed abode, of Battersea, and Ennis, a barber of Dick Shepherd Court, Brixton, were convicted of murder and pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of a firearm. Reid, an illegal immigrant who admitted to firing the murder weapon but denied intent to kill, pleaded guilty to also taking part in another robbery. He was jailed for life, with a minimum of 35 years before being deported. Ennis also got a life sentence with a minimum of 30 years before being deported. Two others were arrested and charged with conspiracy to rob the Fahey family firm.

Also convicted was Ashley Sestanovich, a one-time Grimsby, Manchester City and Sheffield United footballer who was a body double for Arsenal player Thierry Henry in a Nike advert filmed in Rome. Sestanovich (25), is part-Croatian and part Ghanaian. Both he and Carl Gibbs, 26, were accused of planning the robbery, Gibbs being a company employee who allegedly supplied information about pay day activities and routines. Gibbs, who was cleared of the conspiracy charge, was accused of giving such information to Sestanovich; Sestanovich, in turn, was said to have passed the information to a Jamaican gang which was carrying out robberies across London.

ALAN SHEARD. 67. April 3rd, 2007. Leeds Road, Thornbury, Bradford.

When a group of teenage Asians – one of whom was only 14 - got into an argument with 67-year-old Alan Sheard one of the youths attacked the elderly white man. Alan fell to the pavement and struck his head on the kerb. One witness, a shopkeeper who is a Councillor’s son, said that Alan Sheard was felled by a single punch. Among the small group of helpers who went to Alan’s aid was Lib-Dem councillor, Riaz Ahmed. Mr. Ahmed told reporters that Alan was unconscious and bleeding and that the injured man made no sound. As the youths fled the scene, running along Thornbury Avenue, Mr. Ahmed placed his jacket over Alan Sheard. According to the councillor, other helpers said that Alan had been racially abusive towards the teenagers.

This assault, the police asserted, was not a gang attack. It was also too early to infer a racial element. On Tuesday 3rd April 2007, a police team held a press conference at the crime scene. The next day, a senior West Yorkshire Police officer confirmed that ‘Two men aged 23 and 19 have been arrested in connection with the death and are currently being questioned by detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.’ On 4th April, a Police spokesman said that the above men remained in custody and that detectives had interviewed but had not arrested two youths aged 12 and 14. On the same date, the 19-year-old suspect was released on police bail pending further enquiries and the 23-year-old male had been released without charge. Alan Sheard left behind an elderly mother, in a nursing home, and a daughter.

RUSSELL AYLETT. 42. March 30th 2007. Rush Green Road, Romford, Essex.

In March 2006, black killer Richard Truszczinsky strangled father of three Russell Aylett in a flat at a Romford YMCA hostel. Aylett’s body was then hidden in a wardrobe where, decomposing, it was found three days later by worried staff. Truszczinsky had earlier watched a group of men launch a ‘psychopathic and homophobic’ attack on Aylett. The assault was carried out because one of the men wrongly believed that Russell was a homosexual.

Russell’s corpse was found in a post-mortem examination to have sustained ‘multiple injuries consistent with a serious assault’. These injuries included ‘brain injuries, a shattered nose and nine broken ribs’. It was also established that Russell had been alive when his body was bundled into the wardrobe. On 30th March 2007 Truszczinsky was convicted of Russell’s murder and jailed for life.

MARK WETHERALL. 47. March 7th 2007. Whitstable, Kent.

Mark was found, in Whitstable, Kent, with serious injuries and died after five weeks on a life support machine. 18-year-old black youth Curtis Delima and a 15-year-old were later charged with murder and conspiracy to commit burglary.

ALLAN CHAPPELOW. 86. February 21st 2007. Hampstead, London.

Hampstead is famous as the home of many a popular and notorious celebrity. It was also the scene, between May and June 2006, of the killing in his home of North-West London writer and millionaire Allan Chappelow.

Remanded in custody, at the Old Bailey, until 2nd July 2007, Hampstead financial trader Wang Yam was charged with but denied Allan’s murder. In denying the offence, Wang Yam also denied impersonating the murdered man and obtaining £20,000 by deception. He was also charged with burglary and theft and with handling stolen goods.

After Allan’s death his body lay undiscovered until concerned third parties called the police. The dead man’s injuries, including serious head injuries, were confirmed by a post mortem.

A BBC report noted that Allan Chappelow’s works as an author included two books about George Bernard Shaw. A report by mediabistro.com proves altogether more revealing. Noting how Allan was once known for his books about George Bernard Shaw and, also, for his 1955 novel Russian Holiday the website speculated that Allan ‘likely died of head injuries’ and that ‘the murder may be due to identity theft.’ According to a June 2006 mediabistro report: ‘It was said bank officials tipped off Police after becoming suspicious that Mr. Chappelow had lost money through a series of bogus transactions. He is believed to have reported the theft of some of his mail to the police early last month after returning from a trip to America. And in the days leading up to the discovery of his body £10,000 is reported to have been transferred out of one of his bank accounts by a man claiming to be him.’

ROGER HARE. 61. February 20th 2007. West Dulwich, South London.

A crack addict who left a charity worker for dead had been freed early from prison weeks earlier after another violent attack. Ebanezer Adesina was on licence when he ferociously attacked Roger Hare after the profoundly deaf grandfather asked him to move his legs so he could get off a train.

The 20-year-old was released early from a three-year jail term for robbing two men. While in jail, he broke a fellow inmate’s jaw and was sentenced to serve 15 months concurrently for the attack.

Adesina, who was unemployed, was on the same train as 61-year-old Mr Hare, who was returning home after an evening discussing charity events in London on February 20 this year.

As he stood up to leave the train at West Dulwich station in South London, Mr Hare politely asked Adesina to move his feet so he could pass by.

PAUL KELLY. 32. December 31st 2006.

A few minutes after midnight 2006, 32-year-old Paul Kelly was murdered in Bath. Paul was stabbed repeatedly outside the Longacre Tavern following a row that started in the pub. Paul’s and his friends were out celebrating the New Year when, just after midnight, they got into an argument with a black woman and her friends. Paul did his best to separate the two sides and things quietened down.

However, after a few minutes the row started up again. It spilled out into the street outside the pub and, once again, Paul was seen trying to calm things down. Despite his easily perceived role as peacemaker, a black youth, who had not been associated with the original argument, emerged from the crowd and began stabbing Paul repeatedly.

One of the blows pierced his heart and he died almost immediately. In March 2007, Paul’s killer had still not been apprehended, even though many of the pub-goers must have known his identity.

JEANETTE DIANE HULLAH. 21. December 14th 2006. Cheetham Hill, Manchester.

On 05 January 2007, Pakistani-born illegal immigrant Imtiaz Ahmed appeared for a Manchester Crown Court preliminary hearing regarding the death of Cheetham Hill young mother Jeanette Diane Hullah.

Diane, 21, was a cheerful and attractive soul who allowed the homeless Ahmed to be her lodger. 35-year-old Ahmed, it was alleged, strangled his young landlady in her home on Cheetham Hill’s Galsworthy Avenue. Ahmed was arrested, charged with her murder and remanded in custody pending the above hearing.

The North East Manchester Advertiser reported ‘Mrs Hullah, originally from the Newcastle area, is believed to have moved to North Manchester in the last two years.’ She often sat at her window smoking, liked chocolates and ‘kept herself to herself.’ The nemadvertiser on-line edition added ‘Her sudden death has shocked and worried members of the multi-ethnic community in the area.

DAVID DRISCOLL. 31. November 23rd 2006. Oxhey Road, South Oxhey.

Raymond Agubugba – Cansie, 25, of Harvest Road, Queen’s Park, London and Leon Walsh, 20, of Whiston Road, Hackney, London, were both charged with the 23rd November 2006 murder of Watford man David Driscoll. David Driscoll, a 31-year-old father of three of Lowestoft Road, Watford, died from a stab wound shortly after police officers found him in a flat in Oxhey Drive, South Oxhey.

The above duo appeared at St. Alban’s Crown Court on 12 December 2006. Walsh had earlier appeared before magistrates in Watford. Also charged in late – 2006 was Nathan Bruce, Knox Road, Clacton-on-Sea. All three men were due to appear at St. Alban’s Crown Court on 16 March 2007. Nathan Bruce appeared before St. Alban’s magistrates on January 7th 2007.

By February, 2007, Police had charged Thaimloll Conteh (19) of Croxley Road, Hoxton, London. On 07 December 2006, the Police also announced the arrests of two women. The elder woman, in her 40’s was bailed until 31 January 2007. The younger woman, in her 30’s, was released without charge.

IAN PAGE. 19. November 16th 2006. Colindale, London.

Three men have been jailed for kicking a teenager to death over a row when he bumped into them in the street.

Ian Page, 19, was killed on the Edgware Road, north London, in November last year, following a night out with friends.Yateman smirked in the dock as the victim’s father Kenny Page read out a victim impact statement, telling how he had gone “through hell” over his son’s death
Andre Campbell, 24, his half-brother Lloyd Henry, 20, and Jermaine Yateman, 19, were convicted over his killing at the Old Bailey. Campbell and Yateman were both found guilty of murder, and jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years.

Henry, who was convicted of manslaughter, was sentenced to eight years. Both he and Yateman were sent to young offender institutions.
They were part of a gang, captured on security camera footage, that dragged Mr Page to the floor then kicked him as he lay motionless beneath them.

Judge Brian Barker, the Common Serjeant of London, said: “What we have seen on that CCTV is chilling and it is scary. “It is totally unacceptable and the public have every right to be concerned about the increase in this sort of violence. “This was selfish thoughtless, group violence. It was deliberately continued when there was no possible danger. It was unwarranted and it led to catastrophe.”

The judge told all three men: “This is a tragic case for all concerned. After an inoffensive evening of enjoyment with his friends Ian Page, 19, died a sudden, brutal and totally unnecessary death at your hands. “The spark that cause the flare-up was we never properly identified but on any view it was pretty inconsequential.” After some “shouting and posturing”, Campbell went off to a kebab shop to get help from his brother and friends. The gang returned to where Mr Page was, isolating him in a corner and chasing off his friends before dragging him off and kicking him until he was unable to get up. As his assailants fled they each laid a final kick into his prone body, before Yateman returned to rob him of his gold bracelet and attacked him again.

Mr Page suffered severe brain damage and died four days later in hospital. Lorraine Beasley, Ian Page’s mother, described how he “loved life” and “had time for everybody. When my son’s life was taken, part of my own life was taken as well,” she said.

GRACE MOORE. 38. 11th November 2006. Erris Grove, Suffolk Estate, West Belfast.

In December 2006 Nigerian immigrant Kristoph Emmanuel Aluya appeared at Belfast Magistrates Court charged with the late-November killing of 38-year-old department store worker Grace Moore.

Aluya (23), who had earlier been remanded in custody, pleaded Not Guilty. On that date, Aluya said that he understood the charge but otherwise did not speak. A Belfast detective told reporters that the evidence against Aluya, of Church Road, Churchfield, Carlow, South – East Ireland, was conclusive.

A city centre shop worker, Grace Moore was stabbed to death in her Erris Grove, Blacks Road, West Belfast, home. Her body was found by her daughter. Aluya applied for bail but was again remanded in custody and ordered to appear by video link on 21 December 2006.

KAREN HARTSHORNE. 37. November 9th 2006. Norton Crescent, Coseley, Wolverhampton.

At Wolverhampton Crown Court, on 9th November 2006, Peter Martin, 38, pleaded guilty to the murder of his Dudley, Wolverhampton ex-girlfriend Karen Hartshorne.

Karen (37), a trainee manager, broke off her long-term relationship with Martin at Christmas 2005. She was found in her home, on 26 February 2006, dead from multiple stab wounds and with her throat slit.

Martin, a 38-year-old impersonator of the black Portsmouth footballer Sol Campbell, was homeless when he appeared for sentencing, at Wolverhampton Crown Court, on 22 December 2006. Sentenced to 14 years for the murder of Karen Hartshorne, Martin had also been convicted of attempting to murder Karen’s new partner, Paul Round.

Taking into consideration Martin’s mitigating plea that he had been depressed at the time of the Hartshorne killing and had not planned the murder, the Judge told Martin that because of Karen’s injuries Martin posed “a risk of serious harm to the public.”After the murder Martin had clambered onto a motorway bridge and threatened to commit suicide.

RICHARD HOLMES. 21. November 2nd 2006. Chingford, East London.

Rapping music, gangsta crime and vengeance for a song which ‘dissed’, or disrespected, an East End of London rap singer. These were the grisly elements of an Old Bailey murder trial which heard how 21-year-old Chingford man, and locally known music producer, Richard Holmes was shot dead, on 04 November 2005, by acquaintances of the rapper MC Durty Goodz.

Otherwise known as Dwayne Mahorn, the above rapper was himself cleared of murder and of manslaughter. The killing allegedly had its roots in a conversation during which Mahorn told a 16-year-old fellow DJ and rapper that he was losing face because of accusations about him in a song written by a teenage rapper friend of Richard Holmes.

Mahorn’s friend confronted the younger man and insisted upon an apology. The younger man refused and the dispute escalated. That night a group of Mahorn’s acquaintances surrounded Richard Holmes and some of his friends. The pro-Mahorn group was armed with a sub-machine gun. As Holmes and his friends ran off, Holmes was shot in the leg and back. He later died of his wounds.

A Scotland Yard report quoted by Chantelle Fiddy’s blogspot noted that “A post-mortem held at Walthamstow Mortuary gave the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the heart. He also suffered two further gunshot wounds to his left thigh and upper right arm.”

At the Old Bailey black killers Anthony Green and Carl Dobson were tried for Richard’s murder. Essex man Green and Stratford accomplice Dobson were each given a 30-year minimum sentence.

Richard Holmes was a Tottenham Hotspur fan who had played for the local (Chingford) Rovers team and had been a talented schoolboy footballer.

A senior police officer leading the investigation said “Carl Dobson and Anthony Green walked onto the estate without disguise and they opened fire in full public view. Richie (Holmes) was unarmed and running away as he was shot from behind.” According to the local press, a handgun was held to Richard’s head before he was shot in the back as he tried to escape.

The killers, had wrongly banked on witnesses being too scared to give evidence against them. One witness, ironically, recognised one of Holmes killers from a music video channel programme. Local Councillor Laurence Wedderburn told a newspaper that he had extensive evidence, from constituents, of a ‘climate of fear’ in the Chingford Hall area. Such a crime, he argued, was inevitable and he had long believed that a ‘major catastrophe’ was brewing.

BILLY GREGORY. 23. October 30th 2006. Charlton, S.E. London.

Mostly ignored by the left-liberal media, Billy Gregory’s stabbing and subsequent death left his family shattered and numbed. Two years before Billy was glassed in a Earl of Chatham pub, Woolwich, attack which saw him die from two puncture / slash wounds to his throat, Billy’s 19-year-old brother Terry was killed by a knife – wielding black man.

At 01.00 a.m. on Christmas Eve 2005 in the lavatory of Woolwich’s Earl of Chatham pub, Billy Gregory was stabbed by a 30-year-old Vietnamese male. Billy, of Hickin Close, Charlton, was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Sidcup but died there, on Christmas Day, as doctors fought to stop severe bleeding. He was attacked just half a mile from where his brother Terry was killed in late-December 2003.

On 30th October 2006, at the Old Bailey, 31-year old Thu Nguyen was found Guilty of the murder of Billy Gregory. Sentencing Nguyen to life imprisonment Judge Ann Goddard condemned the “unspeakable grief and suffering” which he had brought the Gregory family.
Celebrating with friends on Christmas Eve 2005 Billy Gregory was in the Earl of Chatham pub, Woolwich, when he and Nguyen, of King’s Court, Upton Park, East London, became tangled in what for Gregory was a provocative verbal exchange.

Later, in the toilets, they had another, reportedly minor, exchange. Without warning, claimed the prosecution, Nguyen plunged a glass into Gregory’s neck . According to BBC News On-line: “Mr. Gregory used his shirt to try to stem the flow of blood from a deep neck wound but he collapsed and later suffered a massive stroke.”

Nguyen, who, the court heard, had a history of similar violence, was charged with murder and first appeared in court, at Greenwich Magistrates Court, on 26th December 2005. He was remanded in custody until a Old Bailey court appearance in early April of 2006.
The Gregory case caused great local controversy because, as noted, Billy’s brother, 19-year old lifeguard Terry, was also stabbed to death, outside the Albion pub in Woolwich, on 23 December 2003. Two juries failed to reach a verdict and 65-year old George Edwin, who was charged with Terry’s murder, walked free. Terry’s killer is yet to be brought to justice.

STEPHEN COULSON. 53. October 29th 2006. Forest Gate. London.

Taken by paramedics to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, 53-year-old Stephen Coulson, was fighting for his life after a stabbing near the Hudson Bay pub in Forest Gate’s Upton Lane.

A local authority cleaner from Beckton, Stephen was caught up in a pub brawl. Followed outside by, it was believed, three black men, Stephen was stabbed and later died in hospital. The three men ran off. Local detectives began a murder enquiry and called for witnesses to come forward. Two men were subsequently arrested and released on Police bail.

In November 2006, 51 – year-old Lincoln Peter was also arrested. On 11 November Peter, of Cape Close, Barking, was remanded in custody at a Saturday sitting of the Stratford Magistrates Court.

SAMANTHA ANDERSON. 29. October 28th 2006. Elswick, Newcastle.

Even hardened detectives were shocked at the horrific attack which left Newcastle nursery nurse Samantha Anderson dead – as confirmed in a Home Office autopsy - from multiple stab wounds. Her body was found in a Vallum Court, Westgate Road, Elswick room, soaked with petrol.
Samantha had previously shared her home with her 29-year-old Iraqi Kurd boyfriend, Ari Abdullah. Samantha, also 29, first met Abdullah in 2003. An asylum seeker whose status had expired on 27 October, 2006, he had lived with her from 2004. The couple separated in July or August 2006. Samantha had since moved out of the area. The tower block flat in which her body was found was that of her ex-boyfriend.
Samantha had called by to collect mail but was attacked by Abdullah who beat her about the head with a weight lifting belt and killed her. The gruesome find was made after a neighbour of the Kurdish ‘ex’ reported a strong smell of petrol. Detectives arrested Abdullah on suspicion of murder. Questioning continued the following day.

Police established that Samantha’s ex-boyfriend had lost his asylum seeker status but had re-applied for the continuation of that status. Detectives meanwhile gathered local CCTV footage of the route which Samantha had walked from her from her Buffer Bear Nursery, Newcastle, place of work.

Abdullah, a body builder and factory worker, was later sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after just 12 years.

DAVID LEES. 23. October 28th 2006. Prestwich, Manchester.

David Lees died after being hit by a car in Greater Manchester after a racial incident, police have said. He died in hospital after being found collapsed on Middleton Road in Prestwich. The 23-year-old’s death followed a disturbance believed to have involved white and Asian men. A 25-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of Mr Lee’s murder.

About 20 people were seen arguing on the forecourt of a BP garage prior to the killing. Mr Lees, who was white, had been among people involved in a row with a group of Asian youths. Bizarrely, police described the incident as follows: “We are treating this as a racial incident, but the murder was not racially motivated.”

Independent eye witnesses claim the car was driven /aimed at the group of white youths three times at speeds of up to 70mph, and it was on the third such attempt that they managed to hit David, who was thrown 40 foot into air, with such force that his clothing and neck chain were detached from his body on impact.

If Whites in a car had deliberately aimed at a group of non-whites, there is no question that the police would have described the murder as “racially motivated.”

DAVID COCKRILL. 45. October 5th 2006. Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester.

Assaulted by two strangers on 23 September 2006, Cockrill was begging in Manchester when he was assaulted and left with a serious head injury.

Working his patch in Manchester City Centre, David (43) approached two men - one of whom was East European, the other of mixed race - asking for money. A vicious punch left the Lincolnshire-born beggar in need of an ambulance. Taken to Hope Hospital he clung to life for two long weeks but finally died from that injury. Manchester Police launched a murder enquiry and appealed for witnesses. The two men involved in the scuffle were asked to come forward.

The mixed race male was described as being of light skin colour, clean shaven and of thin build with a long face. Aged 23 to 25, he is 5’10” tall and was wearing a hooded white or beige anorak which hung below his waist. The East European had dark features and very short black hair. He wore a camouflage jacket and dark blue jeans. He was said to be 5’6” to 5’8” tall

WESTLEY ODGER. 27. September 2006. Colchester, Essex.

Mark and Andrew Fredericks, aged 32 and 37, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court charged with the murder, in September, 2005, of Colchester man Westley Odger.

Convicted of murder, fellow Colchester resident Andrew Fredericks was sentenced to life and will serve at least 15 years. Mark Fredericks was found Not Guilty of murder but was sentenced to seven years for manslaughter. The duo, both black males, had been arrested in connection with an argument about alleged shoving - in a Nationwide cash point queue at the Hunwicke shops on Colchester’s Greenstead estate - which had led to Westley Odger being murdered.

Criticising Britain’s ‘terrible sub-culture of drugs and knives’, Judge C. Bell, Q.C., blasted the ‘angry, uncontrolled people’ who routinely carry weapons and to whose random violence we are all vulnerable. Westley Odger’s death, he said, was ‘a needless waste of life.’ Westley’s mother, Ann, said that his death had permanently affected the entire family and all because of this one barbaric and cowardly act.

DANIEL EASTERBROOK. 19. September 12th 2006. Havant Leigh Park, Portsmouth.

In September 2006, Havant’s Leigh Park, near Portsmouth, was the scene of a fight between a group of young white men and the Asian staff of the Spice of India takeaway. 19-year-old Daniel Easterbrook was found unconscious in the yard behind the takeaway.
He died after the fight, which raged in the Greywell Shopping Centre, in Cosham’s Queen Alexandra Hospital. Police later arrested a 26-year old Asian male and charged him with Daniel’s murder.

Alongside a tribute to Daniel from his distraught mother the BBC carried a Police statement that they wanted to hear from a 35 – year old, tall, blond white man who they believed had vital information. The Police, who had sealed the crime scene, were calling on the local white and ethnic communities to remain calm. They also announced the release on bail of a man arrested the day after the Spice of India street fight.

In November 2006 the above Asian male was still in custody and local police arrested two more men. On Monday 13 November two men, aged 43 and 40, from Worthing in Sussex appeared before magistrates in Portsmouth.

LISA BAMFORD. 32. August 22nd 2006. Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Sent to the scene of a violent row police officers arrived in Rothesay Road, in the Derker area of Oldham, to find 32 – year old Lisa Bamford mortally wounded by female Somalia neighbour Shukri Balil.

Balil was charged with Lisa’s murder and with two counts of attempted wounding with intent. She committed the offence on 22nd August 2006 and appeared at Manchester Crown Court on 1st September. She was found Guilty on 7th February 2007. On Friday 16th March she was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to serve 15 years before being eligible for parole.

The stabbing followed a loud argument which involved Bilal – who has a 5 – year old daughter and lived with her Portuguese boyfriend - when Bilal began to act aggressively, punches were traded.

Later, believing the argument to be over, the Bamfords were sitting in Lisa’s kitchen when Bilal entered through the back door waving a kitchen knife. Yelling that she was going to kill everyone in the house and trying to hit Lisa’s daughter, Bilal first of all delivered the fatal knife blow to Lisa’s neck. She also slashed the neck of Lisa’s sister’s boyfriend when he tried to stop Bilal. Eventually, Bilal was removed from the house. Lisa later died in Oldham’s Royal Hospital.

The argument, witnesses said, continued an earlier falling out over the two women’s children playing together and about untrue stories which Bilal had allegedly been spreading about Lisa’s daughter. Bilal had previously been close to the Bamfords, the latter helping Bilal, a refugee, with decoration, furniture and other household items. Bilal had claimed asylum and had been granted refugee status in February 2006.

PETER WOODHAMS. 22. August 21st 2006. Custom House, Canning Town, East London.

In late-September 2006 Metropolitan Police detectives were urgently looking for mixed race Canning Town teenager Bradley Tucker, believed to have been involved in a pre-shooting August altercation with murdered Canning Town man and satellite engineer Peter Woodhams.
Tucker, said the BBC, was not found in any of his usual haunts and was thought to have left the UK. Police later admitted that there was no documentary evidence to prove that Tucker had left the UK but they did not rule it out and duly alerted both Interpol and all UK ports and airports. Tucker, who shot Woodhams with a blank-firing starting pistol, converted to fire live ammunition, which has never been found, was labelled a dangerous fugitive who should not be approached.

Prior to the shooting Peter, 22, had been the target of “a long campaign of violence and intimidation” and was believed to have had a recent argument with Tucker and a group of youths outside a local row of shops. Peter had told the police of his fears not just for his own safety but for that of his partner and their young child.

Police wanted to question Tucker both about the above argument, shortly before Woodhams was shot, and a January 2006 incident in which Woodhams, again harassed by a group of youths who had stoned his car, was stabbed in the throat and slashed across the face. The neck wound narrowly missed his jugular vein.

There has been some basis for arguing that in their early handling of Peter Woodhams’ various contacts with Tucker the police ignored both Peter’s fears and repeated telephone calls which his fiancé Jane Bowden had made, after the stabbing, unsuccessfully asking the Police, over a period of five weeks, to take a statement. The police were reputedly given anonymous tip-offs naming several suspects who had boasted of the January attack.

It was also argued that the police failed to treat the gang’s harassment of Tucker, especially in the seven months between the stabbing and the shooting, as being racially motivated. In August 2006 the Metropolitan Police apologised to Peter’s partner and family and the Independent Police Complaints Commission, IPCC, announced that it was beginning an investigation into the police’s handling of the case.

A family friend said that the police had done too little, too late and had ‘blood on their hands’. On 28th March 2007 The Times reported that “Nine officers face an independent misconduct inquiry into allegations that they failed to investigate the assault.”

Peter Woodhams left behind a grieving fiancée and a 3-year-old son. In the early evening of 21 August 2006 Peter had confronted Tucker and his gang. Tucker was heard to make threats. A few minutes later, he went to Woodham’s house. Woodhams went outside, speaking to the youths in Leslie Road, and was shot. He staggered towards the family home, in Tallis Close, Canning Town, but collapsed in the garden. He died there a short while later.

The day before his sentencing Bradley Tucker pleaded guilty to manslaughter and told the court how he had meant only to scare Peter Woodhams, that he did not think the gun would actually fire a bullet. Tucker’s teenage look-out accomplice was found Not Guilty of murder and manslaughter.

A senior police officer told reporters that officers were continuing their belated investigation of Peter’s January 2006 stabbing. The pattern of police officers turning a blind eye to or minimising the suffering of white victims of racial harassment and violence is, however, so common that it is all too likely that the proper lessons will not be learned without further such tragedies and a prolonged campaign for white civil rights.

PETER JONES. 38. August 14th 2006. Victoria Dock Road, East Ham, London.

Thirty-eight year-old father of three Peter Jones died on the morning of Monday 14th August 2006. Stabbing his East Ham victim in the neck, during a car park row, outside the Victoria pub and next to the Custom House Hotel, Peter’s murderer also wounded Peter’s 20-year-old nephew Adrian Rowe.

The attack occurred at 10.15pm on Saturday 12th August 2006. The killer ran off. Peter, of Blenheim Road, E6, and Adrian, said a Newham Police website statement, were taken to hospital. Adrian was treated and discharged. Peter, who left a wife, a 16-year-old daughter and twin 3-year-old girls, later died in hospital.

Witnesses described the attacker as being slim and of mixed race (the Police website statement said ‘dark-skinned and of Mediterranean appearance’) and 6’3” tall. He looked to be 30 to 35 years old.

In October 2006 Newham Police said that they wanted to question 47-year-old Terry O’Neil. O’Neil, Jones and Rowe had all been in the Victoria pub before the stabbing. On the night of Peter’s death, O’Neil had been wearing a dark blue zipped tracksuit top and a dark baseball cap. The public were urged not to approach O’Neil but to report any sightings to the Police.

On 22nd December 2006 BBC News On-line reported that mixed race Newham murder suspect Terry O’Neil had been arrested in Amsterdam. O’Neil, who had still not been charged, was arrested at least a week before the news of his detention. He would be returned to the UK, said the BBC, in the New Year.

STEVEN JEEVES. 39. July 26th 2006. Penrose Court, Hemel Hempstead.

Bad news travels fast. And so it did when a 43-year-old Hemel Hempstead woman was told by neighbours of a gang attack on her husband and son, Steven and John Jeeves.

Robbed, kicked and punched to the ground Steven Jeeves, 39, was overwhelmed when six or more men leapt out of a car, near some local shops, and pounced on him. John Jeeves (23) tried to protect his father but was unable to. John was uninjured but Steven, suffering from the bad beating and from fatal stab wounds, was rushed to Hemel Hempstead Hospital. He died there in the early hours of Tuesday 26th July.
Police arrested and questioned seven black youths. On the Thursday a 20-year-old man was detained on suspicion of murder. Prior to that arrest police had arrested and would subsequently charge with violent disorder, Shingi Maenzanise , 20, of Dunlin Road, Hemel Hempstead and a 17-year-old juvenile. A third male, Babatunde Onanuga, aged 18, of Wootton Drive, Hemel Hempstead, was charged with perverting the course of justice.

On the Saturday following Steven Jeeves’s murder, Hemel Hempstead Police sought a detention order and asked that all three men be remanded in custody. A 15-year-old also appeared before the same court the time he was sixteen was found guilty of the murder.
A quiet, homely, man Steven Jeeves almost never went out socially. His outing to the Herald Sporting Club, in Henry Wells Square near his Penrose Court, Grove Hill home, was a rare treat. Steven left a widow and six sons aged 11 – 23. He also left a baby grand-daughter.

JOHN CURRAN. 52. July 7th 2006. Highbury & Islington Station, North London.

On 16 October 2006, 20-year-old Mehmed Bala appeared at the Old Bailey accused of the July murder of John Curran. Remanded in custody by Horseferry Road magistrates, Bala, of Lower Clapton, East London, was accused of pushing John Curran, 52 and a construction company machine operator working in North Greenwich, from a Highbury and Islington Tube station platform and in front of a train. CCTV footage identified a number of witnesses and, especially, some witnesses who chased Curran’s killer.

Curran had lived in England since moving from Ireland in 1971. This Is Local London Today reported that a section of the Victoria Line was closed for forensic examination from the Friday till the Monday. Bala, a schizophrenic and recently a voluntary patient at a East London psychiatric hospital, pleaded Not Guilty to the murder of an unknown person. His Not Guilty plea to murder was viewed by the Judge as ‘proper and appropriate’ and Bala pleaded Guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He made no application for bail.
Observer staff writer Amelia Hill wrote that Bala – who had been seen frequently at the City and Hackney Centre for Mental Health - faced life in a secure unit. A senior psychiatrist at the above hospital Bala told the Observer that Bala “had been released from the hospital on leave because he seemed well. He was a very unusual case: the voices in his head had dampened down. His behaviour came completely out of the blue.”

Just days after the publication of the Government’s own disturbing report on avoidable deaths, Marjorie Wallace, the chief executive of the mental health charity Sane, told the BBC that the Bala – Curran case was yet another scenario in which a person may unnecessarily have lost his life. “There are 55 homicides and 1300 suicides committed each year by someone with mental illness or disorders who had been in contact with mental health services.” A Curran family statement mourned “a good man, loved by all.”

STEPHEN KEEN. Flight Lieutenant. 54. July 6th 2006. RAF Lyneham, Wiltshire.

Royal Air Force commanders are no strangers to the task of writing letters of condolences to the families of personnel who have died serving with the Colours. Some personnel die in action, others through accidents while a minority die as the result of natural causes and occasional crime.

RAF Lyneham’s Flight Lieutenant Stephen Keen was one of that minority. Stabbed in the neck and throat, in a house in Tiverton, Devon, Stephen, 54, later died in hospital.

Police arrested and charged with murder one Francesco Matta, a Sardinian who gave an address in Cagliari. Matta, 55, appeared before Essex Magistrates.

Shocked and stunned, Stephen’s friends and family staged a vigil beside the growing display of cards and flowers begun by local townsfolk.

NICK PADGET. 27. July 2nd 2006. Ealing, London.

With a single punch, alleged the prosecution in a Old Bailey trial, pub bouncer Kevin Griffith caused the death of O’Neill’s pub drinker Nick Padget.

After seven hours of intense discussion, stated a Chiswick local news website, the jury recently decided that Griffith was Not Guilty of manslaughter and the 6’2” doorman walked free from court.

Although Griffith (30) was found Not Guilty the incident provoked much local controversy. Kevin Griffith had only just completed his doorman training and was not yet fully licensed when he worked his first shift at O’Neill’s pub in Ealing. Earlier in the evening, with a group of friends, 27 – year – old Ealing man Nick Padget had been drinking in Chiswick. They made their way to O’Neill’s bar and by 01.00a.m. Nick Padget was the worse for wear and drunkenly, though, reportedly, not offensively, buttonholing and speaking to strangers.

Round about 01.00 a.m., as shown on CCTV, Griffith was ushering Nick and friends out of the pub but had targeted Nick for special attention and was marching him out in an armlock.

According to Griffith, Nick had called him both ‘a jobsworth’ and a ‘w****r’. Nick had allegedly slapped Griffith, though some witness evidence stated that Nick had merely brushed Griffith’s face.

Whatever the reality of Nick’s behaviour the prosecution argued that Nick, being bumblingly drunk and, at 5’ 8”, standing 6 inches shorter than Griffith, presented no real threat to the dark-skinned doorman. Griffith, the prosecution continued, had over-reacted in anger and frustration and had delivered a needlessly forceful punch which was, for Nick Padget, a death blow. Taken to Ealing Hospital Nick later died there and Griffith was charged with manslaughter.

Other issues raised by the prosecution were that having hit Nick Padget Griffith allegedly did not call an ambulance and did not tell fellow pub staff about the incident. He was also, when later questioned by his boss, said to have denied hitting Nick. All these matters notwithstanding the Old Bailey jury decided that Kevin Griffith was Not Guilty and the family of Nick Padget must have been left wondering how they would now lay to rest their understandably confused emotions.

We have included the killing of Nick Padget in this list on the basis that, had a powerfully-built white doorman been involved in the death of a defenceless coloured victim, the case and its lack of resolution would have become a cause celebre for the –anti-racist’ left and would without doubt have featured in the IRR list.

JOHN COOPER TAYLOR. 60. July 1st 2006. Cypress Road, Croydon.

Try to imagine a still-bloody murder victim with 135 stab wounds. That was the number of injuries noted when a police doctor gave up counting the wounds inflicted upon elderly victim John Cooper Taylor.

Neither the doctor nor experienced police officers had ever before witnessed such savagery. A police source was quoted as saying that John had been killed while trying to defend his 84-year-old neighbour Barbara Coliver. Barbara had been disturbed and confronted by a man in her home. Police officers arrived after midnight and found two blood-covered bodies on the floor. According to the IC London website, a neighbour said that John Cooper Taylor “was butchered. Even experienced Police officers had never seen anything like it.”

Taylor was widely respected by other residents in his closely-knit Croydon community. A handyman who undertook all sorts of repairs for his neighbours, John helped other elderly residents and also made weekly collections of recycling materials. His death shocked a community still reeling from the recent knifing of a young woman.

Homeless Rafiq Hassain Kasmin (48) was remanded in custody, till 02 October 2006, by Croydon magistrates. He faced charges of murder and attempted murder and was referred for trial to the Old Bailey.

ANNE MENDEL. 84. June 27th 2006. Golders Green, N.W. London.

On 27 June 2006, the media watched with ill-concealed anticipation the sentencing of teenage millionaire’s daughter and alleged murderess Kemi Adeyoola. One of few such cases, the killing of a white person by a non-white, to gain serious media coverage, this case centred upon the Prosecution’s allegation that Adeyoola murdered frail, elderly, Anne Mendel and that she chose Mendel as a ‘soft target’ in a callous crime which followed Adeyoola’s planning of such an offence while she was previously detained in a Young Offenders’ Institution.

Found guilty of stabbing Mrs. Mendel 14 times, Adeyoola was a former neighbour of her elderly victim. Just 17 when she committed the awful crime. Adeyoola had, in her Bulford Hall YOI cell, written up a murder manual. Released from Bulford Hall after a short sentence for shoplifting, Adeyoola coldly plotted and carried out Mrs. Mendel’s murder.

Seasoned detectives and reporters were shocked by Adeyoola’s admission that Mrs. Mendel’s murder was merely ‘practice’ for future similar attacks on other elderly and rich victims. Mrs. Mendel’s body was found behind her door when her husband returned from an errand. Telephone wires had been ripped out, there was blood on the walls and his wife’s lifeless body was lying in the hallway.

Official criticism of Adeyoola’s post-detention monitoring team included the revelation that her above, confiscated, murder manual was passed by Bulford Hall staff to the Barnet Youth Offending Team, which included local police officers. Mrs. Mendel’s murder came just four weeks after the expiry of Adeyoola’s Barnet Youth Offending Team supervisory order.

MICHAEL CHAPMAN. 16. June 16th 2006. Sittingbourne, Kent.

Sixteen year-old Michael was walking within the grounds of Gore Court Cricket Club in Sittingbourne with his brother and their girlfriends when he was set upon in an “unprovoked and gratuitous attack”. Michael, described by friends as “quiet and popular” had been out celebrating his final GCSE exam when he was beaten to death.

Two teenagers, brothers from India, were arrested in Sittingbourne the evening after the attack. An immigration source confirmed that the two had lodged an asylum application.

MALCOLM BARNETT. 43. June 15th 2006, Hunter’s Hill Road, Dagenham, East London.

On 15th June 2006 Dagenham man Malcolm Barnett died from serious head injuries sustained five days earlier during a vicious beating in his Hunter’s Hill Road, Dagenham, home.

Attacked in his bedroom Malcolm was set upon by six hooded black men. The attackers, who had gained entry through the unlocked back door of the house, had moments earlier demanded cash from two women in the house. The two women, aged 44 and 21, allegedly suffered minor injuries. Using a baseball bat they then attacked the sleeping Malcolm.

The attackers were said to have been in their late – teens and early twenties. One man was white or of mixed race. The attackers then fled on foot later leaving the area, in Witham Road, in a dark-coloured saloon car.

On 19th October 2006 the BBC announced that three men, one aged 21 two aged 19, were “arrested in connection with the murder of a man in his bed during a burglary. The suspects were questioned and released on bail until November.” A senior police officer told reporters that “the address was specifically targeted, this was not a random attack.”

KALLY GILLIGAN. 15. June 12th 2006. Lower Broughton, Salford.

A brilliant GCSE student, Kally Gilligan was blonde, beautiful and just 15 when her black, 18-year-old boyfriend, Joshua Thompson, shot her (in the head and neck) then killed himself with a sawn-off shotgun.

The couple had met at Salford’s Albion High School. They had been together for some two years when, two weeks before she died, Kally ended the relationship. Thompson could not accept her rejection and was heard, during an early hours row before the shooting, telling her that if he could not have her no-one else would.

Thompson appeared with a shotgun outside Kally’s home while she was washing the family car on 10th June 2006. Another argument began but this one ended with Thompson shooting first Kally then himself.

GARY PAINTER. 39. June 5th 2006. Waltham Forest, E. London.

Last seen alive on Sunday 04 June 2006, in the nearby Jack’s Pub, Arsenal fan Gary Painter died, said the police, on Monday 5th June. He was found in his Salop Road, Walthamstow, home on the afternoon of Thursday 08 June 2006.

A weekend post-mortem established ‘strangulation’ as the cause of death. The police, believed that the father of two, locally well known, might have offered a bed for the night to a stranger he had met in Jack’s pub.

Police charged a unemployed man, 34-year-old Kenneth Osei-Bonsu, with Gary’s murder. Osei – Bonsu later appeared at Waltham Forest Magistrates Court.

JOLENE COLPUS. 19. June 3rd 2006. Basingstoke, Hampshire.

When first interrogated by Basingstoke Police 22-year-old drug gang boss Kieran Simei denied knowing and killing 19-year old murder victim Jolene Colpus. Simei, of New Cross Gate, London eventually attempted a manslaughter plea but a jury found him Guilty of murder and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Trapped by CCTV footage of him stabbing Jolene, a junior member of his mini-drugs empire, Simei claimed, during his 5-day Winchester Crown Court trial that, although the 20 centimetre blade penetrated the entire thickness of Jolene’s body and sliced through a major vein, the fatal knife thrust was ‘an accident’.

The stabbing took place on Saturday 3rd June 2006 at Winterthur Way, Basingstoke. Simei was clearly shown on CCTV footage thrusting forward the hand which held the murder weapon. Jolene was seen holding her arms across her body, turning away from Simei and running into her flat. After the above incident, Jolene’s body lay undiscovered, in a pool of congealed blood, for nine days.

In sentencing Simei, the Judge said that the killer should serve at least 17 years. In 2003, Simei was sentenced to 18 months for possession of drugs with intent to supply and with Police assault.

KYNAN ELDRIDGE. 31. June 2nd 2007.Mansfield.

The parents of Kynan Eldridge attacked the jail sentence handed out to a man who killed their son in a “vicious, brutal and frenzied” assault.
Abderrahmen Dhaou stabbed Kynan Eldridge to death in a row over rent for a room at Dhaou’s home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. A judge sentenced Dhaou to jail for the public’s protection and said he would serve at least three years.

But Peter and Annie Eldridge said no sentence was long enough. Leicester Crown Court heard that Dhaou was an alcoholic cannabis user who was suffering from a depressive illness at the time. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
After the attack Dhaou, 36, a Tunisian national, daubed a message in Arabic on his living room wall for police to find. He said he had taken revenge on Mr Eldridge after being made to “look foolish”.

Judge Michael Pert QC said Dhaou would serve a minimum of three years before he could be considered for parole on a life licence. The judge also recommended that Dhaou be deported on his release.

In a statement after the hearing, Mr Eldridge’s parents said: “This man has robbed us of our only child, our health and dreams for the future. “He’s received just three years - we’ve received a life sentence.”

Mrs Eldridge added: “This attack was a straightforward stabbing. It was over something comparatively trivial but the attack was vicious, brutal and frenzied.”

FREDERICK GOODMAN. 62. April 19th 2006. Hulme, Manchester.

In April 2006 Manchester Police charged Dawn Birch, of Royce Road, Hulme, Manchester and Abdul Malik Ali, of Thames Court, Old Trafford, with the murder of 62 –year-old former window cleaner Frederick Goodman, after his worried family called the police when they could get no reply at his flat in Royce Road, Hulme.

According to a Government News Network / Department of Constitutional Affairs website review, Frederick Goodman’s body lay in his home for 3 weeks before its discovery by police officers on 19 April 2006.

Frederick “had befriended Dawn Birch, who lived with him. Unknown to him, Dawn Birch was conducting a relationship with Abdul Malik. It was the Crown’s case that Mr. Goodman had been bound and gagged and had violence inflicted upon him and that they were Guilty of murder.”
On 01 November 2006 the prosecution closed its case and the Crown accepted pleas of manslaughter. On 02 November Birch and Malik were each sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment.

RAYMOND GANGE. 69. April 17th 2006. Derby.

Retired forklift truck driver Raymond Gange, father of two, grandfather of six and great-grandad of seven, was ferociously beaten to death by an ethnic hoody gang. Mr Gange was returning from a family party, when he was attacked by the gang.

Shaun Johns, 18, of Stowmarket Drive, Chaddesden, Derby was convicted of Mr Gange’s murder. Calvin Grant, 17, of Normanton, Derby, was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter. Mixed race Jak Jones, 18, of no fixed abode, had previously admitted the murder of Mr Gange. Career criminals Jones and Johns had only just been released from prison. The court heard the youths had spent the evening prowling the streets of Derby looking for someone to rob before attacking Mr Gange.

A post morten examination showed Mr Gange died of multiple head injuries, due to being punched, kicked and stamped on. Forensic examinations of the scene and cuts and scrapes to Mr Gange’s body suggested he was assaulted and thrown over a hedge. Two vertebrae in Mr Gange’s neck were also fractured. Jones and Johns have since admitted stabbing and robbing a man in Derby the day before killing Mr Gange.
Jones also pleaded guilty to the attempted robbery of a man, at knifepoint, four days later. In a letter to his local newspaper some days before his murder, Mr Gange wrote “Criminals given soft sentences often re-offend, yet victims’ families get a life sentence.

Build as many prisons as need be and let life be life.”

MARK CONWAY. 28. April 4th 2006. Hull.

Mark Conway was stabbed 15 times where he worked as a shift manager at Land Food Products, Hullm after he called into his office to tell off Saman Sali Karim, 26, who had arrived 4 hours late for work.

Karim was “in a strop” as he had not been allowed to have the day off. After the attack, he escaped to a flat in Folkestone, Kent, but was later arrested by armed police.

The court heard Karim had a history of violence and was known to carry knives if he thought there would be a fight. Defence counsel Richard Barraclough QC, said Karim had been tortured under the old regime in Iraq and arrived in the UK as a refugee in July 1999.

The court heard Karim had a history of violence and was known to carry knives if he thought there would be a fight. Judge Michael Mettyear recommended a minimum term of 16 years and 133 days.

JOHN WARD. 22. March 21st 2006. St. Osyth, Essex.

It was at first said that John Ward, a 22-year-old living in the quiet seaside village of St. Osyth in Essex, was killed by an Asian or Turkish gunman.

The probable victim of mistaken identity in a gangland killing that went wrong, John Ward had opened his front door to a stranger who was asking about someone else. John, who was engaged and planning his marriage, invited the stranger into the hallway of his family home. The stranger then left John’s home and John closed the front door only to be fatally wounded in the neck when a shotgun was fired through the door.

A week after the shooting Essex Police revisited the scene of the crime and questioned a large number of drivers and pedestrians. A computer E – fit of the chief suspect was also released. By May 2007, Essex Police had arrested, charged and brought to trial three men, Vishnu Bhaskaran, Mill Road, Colchester, Martin Valentine, South Ockenden and Steven Walker of Fernwood Road, Holland –on-Sea.
All were charged with and all denied John Ward’s murder. They appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court in late May 2007.

In a dramatic twist to the case the above trial was halted to allow Essex Police to extradite two other suspects from Spain. A successful Police search for David Taylor, 40, and Peter Jones, 38, tracked the duo down to a Spanish hideaway. Both men, who were described as of No Fixed Abode, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court and were remanded in custody. The trial resumed in November 2007.

LYNN SAVERY. 19. March 17th 2006. Radcliffe, Greater Manchester.

Lynn Savery, 19, was found dead in her home in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester. She had been strangled. Ashfaq Khan, of New Cateaton Street, Bury, had pleaded not guilty to murder but was convicted by a jury at Manchester Crown Court. The judge said he would serve a minimum of 17 years in prison.

Savery’s body was discovered by her mother and stepfather on 2 September 2005. Her one-year-old daughter Mia was found close by but was unharmed. During his trial, the court heard that Khan had both physically and sexually abused Ms Savery during their three-year relationship.

JAMES HAYHOE. 21. February 12th 2006. Bath

A Student was killed by two mixed-race strangers after they took offence at the way he greeted a friend, a jury heard yesterday. Bath Spa University student James Hayhoe, 21, had made a noise like a telephone ringing as he greeted a friend just moments before he was fatally punched in the head outside a Bath nightclub.

The court heard that the noise was often made by fans of hip hop as a way of expressing their enthusiasm for the music. Bristol Crown Court heard that two mixed-race teenagers had gone on to attack Mr Hayhoe outside the former Playground nightclub on Spring Gardens Road after hearing the greeting. The environmental sciences student died two weeks later of a fractured skull.

On the opening day of the manslaughter trial, the prosecution said Mr Hayhoe had been struck by Kio Russell during a fracas involving the defendant’s pal, Courtney Campbell, who was apparently offended by the hip-hop greeting.

Giving evidence in their trial, student Jordan Srokowski told how he arrived at the Playground with friends and had been welcomed by Mr Hayhoe who he said made a “brrrr brrrr” noise. He said they were then surrounded by a gang.

“There was a mere shaking of hands and saying hello to each other. I noticed a group of males standing around some benches. “From nowhere several of the males came over addressing us rather aggressively. We were pretty much surrounded by them.

“One of them was aggressive and seemed to pick on James. There were about five or six of them. We had not said anything to that group. “In no time at all some of them started running around us. There was abuse being thrown at James.

“I turned my head because I thought I had to watch my own back. Straight after that I heard girls screaming and saw James lying on the floor with one of the males shouting abuse at him.”

Mr Srokowski said he saw a man in a white tracksuit standing over his prone pal swearing and yelling “You think you are it” and “That’s what you get for messing with me” and asking if he wanted a “smacking”.

Asked by Noel Sweeney, prosecuting, if he and Mr Hayhoe had meant to be insulting when they made the hip-hop ringing sound, Mr Srokowski said: “No. He said ‘hi’ to me and made that noise.

“There was nothing else behind it.” He explained: “There’s a certain noise you make for appreciation of that music that you hear at concerts.
“There was nothing insulting.” Mr Sweeney told the jury how blood and fluid had seeped from Mr Hayhoe’s left ear when two ambulance paramedics arrived at the scene at 12.16am.

The fatally injured man was rushed to the Royal United Hospital in Bath, where he was found to be confused. He was given a scan which revealed bleeding in his brain. He was transferred to the Frenchay Hospital in Bristol to undergo surgery but was pronounced dead at 10.20am on February 25. A pathologist found he had suffered a fractured skull.

When Campbell was interviewed by police he said Russell was responsible for the blow to Mr Hayhoe and denied hitting anyone himself.
Russell told officers he had arrived at the club on his bike and saw Campbell arguing with four men. He said he thought his friend was going to get beaten up so he punched one of the men. “When his head hit the floor it sounded like a drum,” he told officers.

SERENA MAHONEY. 26. February 28th 2006, St. Alban’s.

Sentenced in March 2007, black murderer Aaron Venna was convicted by the jury, at St. Alban’s Crown Court, of the violent and sadistic killing of Serena Mahoney. Murdered just yards from her houseboat, in Windmill Lane, Cheshunt, Serena was attacked by Venna in a rage which saw him stamp on her face three times and sexually assault her. Builder’s labourer Venna was working on a nearby building site and living in a youth hostel, stamped so hard that he left an imprint of his trainer’s sole. Having delivered what police sources said was ‘a significant blow’, he dumped her in the River Lee and left her to drown.

When removed from the river, Serena’s body was in a state of undress but there was no immediate sign of a sexual assault. Nor had she been robbed. Local residents had reported hearing a late-night scream. Some thought it was a wild animal. CCTV cameras caught Serena (26) and Venna separately leaving the The Maltster’s pub. Venna is then seen walking behind his victim on the riverbank path.

Serena (26), originally from Middlesex, lived in a houseboat with her boyfriend. Cheshunt Police launched a murder enquiry which included Metropolitan Police divers searching the River Lee.

At the conclusion of a two week trial, the Judge ordered that Venna, whose girlfriend was seven and a half months pregnant, should serve a minimum of 25 years before being considered for parole.

PATRICK ROACHE. 23. January 29th 2006. Northampton.

The growing memorial of flowers and other tributes reminded Northampton residents of the murder in Abingdon Square, outside the Xpress Chicken Takeaway, of local man Patrick Roache.

Enjoying life as a young father, he left behind a distraught partner and a baby son named Jacob. 22-year-old plumber Patrick was stabbed through the heart at around 11p.m. He died, in the early hours of the next day, at Northampton General Hospital.

The large police team investigating his death joined with forensic personnel in the fingertip search for the murder weapon. The search included a check of local drains and turned up a knife which was removed for scientific examination.

Forty eight hours after Patrick’s death, a 33-year-old black man, Shaun Powell, handed himself in at a local police station. Detectives interviewing Powell charged him with Patrick’s murder. Powell appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court on 29 January 2006 and was ordered to appear for trial at Northampton Crown Court.

CHRISTOPHER DAVIS. 17. January 19th 2006. Barking, East London.

The entrance to Upney Station, Barking, witnessed a January 2006 fracas in which seven black and mixed race youths jostled a friend of Christopher Smith. 17-year old Christopher tried to stop the shoving but was stabbed. Paramedics tried to keep him alive but he was pronounced dead on arrival at Ilford’s King George’s Hospital, killed a single abdominal wound.

In their investigation of Christopher’s death Barking police arrested and questioned seven individuals. One of Curtis’s attackers, also 17, was charged and arraigned at a local court. On 15 August 2006, BBC News On-line reported that a 17-year old youth who could not be named had been found guilty of murdering Chris.

ZELIA HARRISON. 32. January 17th 2006. Millfield, Peterborough.

At Cambridge Crown Court, in May 2006, Wakil Sahebzadeh (28) pleaded guilty to the murder of 32-year old prostitute Zelia Harrison. The daughter of a publican, Zelia had been stabbed six times and her half-naked, bloody corpse left in a car park at Peterborough’s Gladstone Community Centre.

The Peterborough Telegraph newspaper reported how the prostitute had carried a knife for her own protection but Afghan illegal immigrant Wakil Sahebzadeh used it against her in a frenzied, fatal onslaught.

A series of reports in the Peterborough Telegraph stories revealed how:

•  Zelia, suffered stab wounds to her legs, buttocks and heart
• Police traced Zelia’s Afghan killer in just one week and had unprecedented support from Zelia’s fellow prostitutes
•  Police called in a top sniffer dog, at a cost of £530 a day, to help find the murder weapon
• Police delayed judicial proceedings while waiting for the services of one of Britain’s only two Pashtun legal interpreters
• Investigating Officers were granted extra time to question Sahedzadeh, who turned out to be an illegally resident Afghan asylum seeker; he had come to the UK in 2001 and had originally been granted a term of residency while pursuing a claim that he feared the wrath of the Taliban. The killer’s ‘exceptional leave’ 4 – year residency permit expired in July 2005
• Mobile phone records placed Sahebzadeh in Dover so detectives knew that he was trying to leave the UK
•  Detectives rightly reasoned that to leave Britain and to return to Afghanistan Zelia’s killer would need the help of the Afghan Embassy. Detectives staked out the entrance to the embassy and arrested Sahebzadeh when he arrived there seeking official assistance; the cunning killer was found to be seeking his government’s help with false documents.
• Sahebzadeh initially denied knowing and killing Zelia Harrison but finally admitted the crime.
• The killer’s DNA was already in the Police’s national DNA database and a positive match was made
  In late May 2006 Sahebzadeh was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to serve at least 15 years

JASON JOHN MAYZE. January 13th 2006. St. Helen’s, Lancashire.

A former student of Sutton High Sports College, 16-year-old Jason Mayze lived on Beechwood Close, St. Helen’s. On 13 January 2006 Jason was stabbed by 37-year old Balti Spice takeaway chef Bosher Uddin.

A father of three Bangladeshi who lived in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, and who had come to the UK in 1994, Uddin was charged with Jason’s murder but successfully pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

The entire case hinged on two points of law and perception: First, whether or not Uddin intended to kill or to seriously injure Jason. The victim’s mother, Angie Mayze, believed not only that Uddin had had a racial motive in killing her son but that the police were negligently failing to class the attack as racial, that a ‘cover up’ was underway and that Uddin’s 3-year jail sentence, with the option of early release after just 18 months was, ‘a disgrace’. Certainly it is clear that, by refusing to accept her assessment of the killing as racially motivated, the police were – as is so often the case when white victims are involved – in breach of the McPherson recommendations.

The secondary key point argued in court was whether Jason, known to his friends as Jay-Jay, had stolen a box of chicken from a container behind the Balti Spice or, as his mother claims, was planning to pay for it with the five pound note which he had in his hand when paramedics arrived and found him bleeding heavily from a fatal, 6-inch long, armpit arterial slash wound.

It was a Saturday night when Jason was confronted, in the alley behind the Balti Spice restaurant, by knife-wielding Bosher Uddin. Holding a box of chicken Jason was accused by Uddin of having stolen it from a container near the back door of the restaurant.

Jason allegedly argued with Uddin and Uddin, still carrying the knife with which he had been preparing vegetables inside the restaurant, grabbed Jason in a bear hug. During their struggle, Uddin said it was accidental, Uddin’s knife ripped a 6-inch gash in an artery in one of Jason’s armpits. Jason died in hospital three days later.

Uddin appeared in court on 29th June 2006 and the proceedings were carried forward to early August. At Liverpool Crown Court the prosecution later accepted Uddin’s plea of manslaughter and admitted that there were no eye witnesses to the incident, that a pathologist agreed that Uddin’s version of events could be true and that the fatal injury was a extremely unusual type of wound.

The prosecution acknowledged Uddin’s claim that he had not intended to kill Jason or to cause him serious harm but still, successfully, urged the jury to find Uddin Guilty of manslaughter. The Judge recognised Uddin’s claimed remorse and the fact that he had been given two character testimonials, one from the former MP Sir Cyril Smith and another from the Lib-Dem MP Paul Rowen, but noted that during his Police interviews Uddin had repeatedly lied and given different versions of the events of that fateful evening. The Judge told Uddin “I have a low opinion of your honesty.”

The Judge said that he had been influenced by Uddin’s ‘almost good’ character – Uddin had repeatedly lied to detectives and also had a previous conviction, for assault, from his early teenage years – but had felt compelled to impose the maximum sentence of three years. Jason’s mother, meanwhile, still felt angry and robbed of justice.

She also maintained her belief in the alleged racial nature of the incident, telling reporters that a Union Jack floral tribute left at the scene had been trampled on and broken up. On 13 August she and 20 friends and relatives protested outside Liverpool Crown Court wearing T – shirts with the slogan ‘Justice for Jay-Jay’.

THOMAS AP RHYS PRYCE. 31. January 12th 2006. Willesden, North London.

Shortly after they had mugged a middle-aged man, Delano Brown (18) and Donnel Carty (19) picked on 31 – year old City lawyer Thomas ap Rhys Pryce. Thomas was only yards away from his Bathurst Gardens, Willesden, home when Carty and Brown mugged him, taking his cash, his mobile phone and his bank cards. Thomas resisted.

Having at first walked away from Thomas the black duo caught up with him and stabbed him in the head, hands and body. Later the youths were seen running into Clifford Gardens, as the young lawyer died surrounded by blood-stained print-outs of possible venues for his wedding.
When they were eventually arrested and charged with murder Carty and Brown blamed each other. In the early phase of Metropolitan Police enquiries, Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur condemned both the viciousness of the youths’ attack on Thomas and the ‘appalling injuries’ which they inflicted upon him. The Assistant Commissioner promised that “my officers will explore every avenue, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of these youths.”

The Judge said that while it was not clear who wielded the knife both men were equally responsible. Thomas, the Judge said, died because he had resisted the robbery. Although the Crown conceded some doubt as to Carty’s intention to kill Thomas the court had heard how Carty had written a rap song in which he had “boasted of his willingness to kill.”

A few weeks earlier Carty had allegedly been part of a gang of black youths who had mugged and assaulted a 34-year old woman. While fleeing the scene of the robbery Carty had been arrested but the Police had had to release him without charge when the victim proved unable to identify him as a member of the gang. Brown, it was noted, had compiled a hoard of news clippings about the Ap Rhys Pryce killing.

At the Old Bailey Carty and Brown were each jailed for life. Carty was to serve a minimum of 21 years and Brown “would not be considered for release until he had served 17 years in prison.” Each man received concurrent jail terms of up to four years for conspiracy to rob, wounding, grievous bodily harm and robbery.

MATTHEW SMITH. 21. January 9th 2006. Streatham, South London.

Police and paramedics raced to the scene but were too late to save 21-year-old Matthew Smith. In spite of a friend’s First Aid efforts, Matthew died of a two gunshot wounds, one in the chest and one in the thigh, sustained when he and some friends were victims of a armed robbery. Surrounded, in a car park, where he was sitting in his car with three friends, Matthew Smith was shot twice as he tried to drive away from a gang of black men demanding mobile phones.

Even as Matthew lay bleeding to death on a grass verge, Jason Campbell and Daniel Springer joined their accomplices in continuing to rob Matthew’s friends.

On Monday 05 March 2007, This Is Local London reported that Campbell, 23, of Stockwell, had been sentenced to life imprisonment and would serve a minimum of 30 years while Springer, 21, of Streatham would serve 12 years for manslaughter. Both men would also concurrently serve five years for each of three counts of robbery.

THOMAS WINSTON. 18. January 3rd 2006. Kentish Town, London.

Caught up in a row, near the Unicorn pub, in which his car’s windscreen was smashed, Thomas Winston (18) was stabbed in the chest, and three times in the back, by mixed-race attacker Tyrell Anderson.

The attack took place in Brecknock Road, Kentish Town. Thomas, who was attacked by Anderson (19), in an argument over a £40 mobile phone, died on the pavement.

In an unusual twist to the affair, Anderson, gripped by grief, confessed to the killing in a note which he left among the many floral and other tributes.

On Tuesday 7th November 2006 Anderson was sentenced to life imprisonment, with Judge Hawkins stipulating that Anderson must serve 13 years before being eligible for parole.

MICHAEL HANLEY. 23. December 28th 2005. Dewsbury.

At Leeds Crown Court on 29 March 2007 19-year-old Dalton man Darren Foley was found Guilty of the murder of gun crime victim Michael Hanley. He was sentenced to life and told that he must serve 18 years before being considered eligible for parole. The Judge said that he did not believe that Foley had intended to kill Michael, of Harehills in Leeds, but he had accepted the murder weapon and had shot Michael when told to by gang leader Shane Thomas.

24-year-old Thomas, of Manchester Road, Langroyd Bridge was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years and, reported the ichuddersfield website, was also given a concurrent seven year sentence for conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Two other gang members, Jamie Hislop, Thomas’s half-brother, of Sheepridge, and Igor Simic, 21, of Berry Brow, were given five year sentences for conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Thomas’s gang members had assorted previous convictions while Thomas himself had previous convictions for ‘supplying class A drugs, violence and robbery.’

The Hanley shooting made national headlines, not the least because Michael’s mother joined other bereaved Yorkshire mothers in fronting the Don’t Trigger anti – gun crime campaign. The background to the case makes sobering reading.

In late December 2005 Yorkshire police were looking for a mixed – race gunman who had fled the scene of a Dewsbury shooting in a silver VW Golf car. Michael Hanley, 23, had earlier had a scuffle in Dewsbury’s Sheridan Bar. He and a friend had been in pub for 2 – 3 hours having previously been at a party, in Huddersfield, the night before.

At the time of the scuffle, which occurred after one of the gang jostled Michael, and the shooting there were about 200 people in the pub. Other drinkers included visitors from Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bradford. The scuffle led to Michael and a friend being asked to leave the pub. A short while later they were followed by Shane Thomas, Darren Foley, Jamie Hislop and Igor Simic. One of the four was carrying a silver automatic hand gun. It was thought to have been a 9mm pistol. The previous row flared up again and Thomas’s gang all took part in a group assault on Michael and his friend.

Michael and his friend tried to run away. The murder weapon was handed to Darren Foley and Shane Thomas reportedly ordered Foley to shoot Michael Hanley. Foley shot and fatally wounded Michael in the stomach.

Michael’s friend tried to persuade the driver of a nearby car to help him escape the above fracas. The gang surrounded the car and the driver somehow got out and ran into the pub. Michael’s friend got into the driving seat and sped off in the direction of Huddersfield. The friend escaped, said the BBC, with a minor head injury. Thomas and his gang fled the scene in a silver VW Golf car but were arrested and convicted a few months later.

STUART GRANT. 33. December 14th 2005. Maida Vale, W. London.

On the night of 14th December 2005, three black men were seen running into Maida Vale’s Amberley estate. The men were thought to have been those who that evening chased Kilburn man Stuart Grant along Maida Vale’s Shirland Road and who, having cornered Stuart, left him dying of stab wounds.

Stuart, 33, from Seven Sisters, begged for his life but his pleas were ignored. Patrolling police officers found him at midnight and immediately gave First Aid. Stuart was rushed to hospital but died soon afterwards from stab wounds to the chest.

At the Old Bailey on 8th December 2006 three men were jailed for Stuart’s murder. The court heard how, at a chicken takeaway shop on the corner of Harrow Road and Sutherland Road, 33-year-old Stuart had an argument with 23-year-old Omar Tracey. After the argument Tracey phoned James Herman, 26, of Acton and Cameron Herman, 20, of Maida Vale.

The Herman brothers joined Tracey and the trio caught up with Stuart Grant. Chasing Stuart into Shirland Road they grabbed him. Two held his arms while the third repeatedly stabbed him. Stuart was heard begging for his life but his pleas were ignored. Bleeding profusely, Stuart staggered along Shirland Road until he collapsed.

Omar Tracey and James Herman were sentenced to 15 years and Cameron Herman to 12 years.

ANTHONY MAY. 35. December 13th 2005. Kennington, South London.

In December 2005 Kennington Police sought two black men, both aged about 20 and wearing black hooded tops and black jeans, for the murder of local man Anthony May. Anthony, 35, who was caught up in a row with three black men who were later seen running into the Amberley Estate, was battered to death with a heavy object. Anthony’s father tried to revive him and am ambulance rushed him to hospital but Anthony died shortly afterwards. Kennington Police launched a murder enquiry and began a search for his killers.

On 03 February 2006 the IC / South London website reported that “cops have charged Sean Njoku and Jonathan Miller, both 18, with murder. Njoku, of Thornton House, Townsend Street, Walworth, in Upper Norwood and Miller, of Cobbett Street, Kennington are in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on April 24.”

Media sources soon established that Anthony had just returned from Tenerife and that he had planned to set up in business there. Described by one local resident as “a lovely soul and very friendly” Anthony May was a drug dealer who had agreed to sell his black killers £3,000 worth of cannabis.

Njoku and Miller grabbed a box of cannabis from Anthony. They hit him with a metal bar and kicked and beat him to death. In late July 2006 the killers were found Guilty of murder and the Judge recommended that they each serve at least 23 years before being considered for parole. Anthony’s murder, said the Judge, was “a brutal piece of thuggery and a type of behaviour that society cannot tolerate.”

PC SHARON BESHENIVSKY. 38. November 18th 2005. Bradford.

Murdered on her daughter’s 4th birthday, PC Sharon Beshenivsky had been on active duty for just nine months. The mother and step-mother of several children Sharon was one of two female constables who arrived at the scene as three men – two Somali asylum seekers and an Asian - were leaving a travel agency after a robbery. Both officers were shot at. Sharon died of her wounds. Her colleague survived.

The entire nation united in outrage and Sharon’s funeral procession and service were watched by millions of angry Britons. Justice, thankfully, prevailed and Sharon’s killer was eventually tried and convicted of her murder.

KIMBERLEY FULLER. 19. November 5th 2005. Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

Described by the Judge, during a week-long trial, as ‘evil’, Mohammed Ashan was convicted of the murder of Kimberley Fuller and given a 19-year sentence.

Ashan and Kimberly (19) were passing on a night club stairway and Ashan, who had a history of attacking women, grabbed at Kimberley’s buttocks. When Kimberley challenged Ashan about it he stabbed her in the neck nine times. As Kimberley, her neck wound pumping out blood, slumped to the floor, Ashan calmly walked away. He was later arrested in another night club.

When interviewed by detectives Ashan agreed that he had stabbed Kimberley but claimed that he had been under attack and was defending himself. A Sheffield Crown Court jury took just 30 minutes to find Ashan Guilty of Kimberley’s murder.

The knifing frenzy which killed Kimberly robbed her of a vibrant, happy and energetic life. At the family home in Thorpe Hesley, Kimberley had earlier been singing and was excited about her night out. Her mother had asked her to watch out for herself. Kimberley had said that she would be OK and that she was 19, not a child.

Her grief-stricken parents told reporters that they would now be campaigning against knife crime and for all clubs to have metal detectors.

RICHARD HOLMES. 21. November 4th 2005. Chingford

Richard Holmes, who was shot and killed in Greenham Crescent in the Chingford Hall estate by a well-known rap singer, Carl Dobson – also known as “Crazy |Titch” as he defended a 16-year-old boy against some men, police said.
The rapper was outraged because his half-brother was “disrespected” in a song lyric. He was jailed along with a co-conspirator for 30 years yesterday after the attack ended in murder.

Dobson, 23 - also known as the grime rap star Crazy Titch - killed music producer Richard Holmes last November as a row over the lyrics escalated disastrously, the Old Bailey heard. Dobson and an associate, Anthony Green, 35, confronted Mr Holmes, 21, because he had made the mistake of allying himself with the upcoming garage star Shaba Shah. Shah, 16, known as Shaba Shak, had released a track insulting Dobson’s half-brother, Dwayne Mahorn, 25, also a rapper known as Durrty Goodz.

A handgun was held to the victim’s head before he was shot in the back as he tried to escape. The attackers also shot him in the leg with a Mach 10 machine gun.

Dobson and Green denied any involvement, but a teenage rap fan who witnessed the shooting was able to identify Dobson because he had been on television. Both Dobson and Green were convicted of murder and received life sentences. Mahorn, of Chingford, east London, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter. He was led from the dock in tears moments after the verdicts were read out.

The common serjeant of London, Judge Brian Barker, told Dobson, of Stratford, east London, and Green, of Loughton, Essex - who both have previous convictions for violence - that they must serve a minimum of 30 years in jail.

NICHOLAS SHEPHERD. 39. October 16th 2005. Liverpool.

Following an earlier argument Nicholas Shepherd was murdered by a black man who ran into the Rob Roy pub, on Beaumont Street, Toxteth, stabbed him seven times, then ran out of the pub covered in blood. Four of the wounds were in the 39-year-old graduate IT expert’s chest, with one piercing a lung.

Murder squad officers initially had difficulty finding witnesses who could identify Nicholas’s killer. Some witnesses did, however, come forward and police eventually arrested and charged 36-year-old Lloyd George Patton.

Following that murder the BNP’s then National Press Officer, Dr. Phil Edwards, was speaking to a Liverpool Echo reporter. Would the Echo, Dr. Edwards wanted to know, be making ‘a big thing’ of the black-on-white Nicholas Shepherd killing? Would the paper be giving the same degree of coverage as the Echo and other UK papers were giving to, for example, the white-on-black murder of Anthony Walker? The reporter hung up.

DANIEL McGANN. 73. September 29th 2005. Acocks Green, Birmingham.

Heroin addict Mohammed Naheem, 35, from Enville Grove in Sparkhill, Birmingham, admitted murdering 74-year-old Daniel McGann and was been jailed for life at Birmingham Crown Court.

Naheem was encountered by McGann on his property in Acocks Green. Naheem took the hammer Mr McGann was holding and beat him, leaving him to die in his back garden before stealing four shirts from the house.

Mr Justice Hodge ruled that Naheem must serve at least 26 years in prison. Birmingham Crown Court heard that on 29 September 2005, three days after being released on licence over another offence, Naheem reported to Acocks Green police station as part of his parole conditions. Immediately afterwards he crossed the road to burgle two empty properties.

Naheem fled when the police were called and hid in the porch of Mr McGann’s home in Dudley Park Road. He decided to burgle the house and was trying to break in when he was interrupted by the retired car factory worker, who picked up a hammer to confront him. Naheem used it to beat Mr McGann, shattering his skull.

RICHARD WHELAN. 28. July 29th 2005. North London.

Richard Whelan’s murder, on the top deck of a Number 43 bus in Upper Street, North London, attracted an unusual amount of media attention, although the police insisted on describing his stabbing by a heavily-built 20-year-old black man, as “motiveless”.

The media too perpetuated the ‘random attack’ claim, despite the fact that huge numbers of white users of the public transport system in such areas are all too familiar with the extent of a casual and callous anti-white racism among members of several ethnic minorities.

Richard’s alleged killer, Anthony Leon Joseph, 20, was first tried at the Old Bailey in May 2007 but the jury was unable to reach a majority verdict.

Some facts, however, were clear: Between 9.45pm and 10pm on 28 July 2005, Anthony Joseph intimidated fellow passengers, on the upper deck of a No. 43 bus in Islington, by throwing chips at them and loudly laughing. A number of passengers, including at least one young woman, abandoned their upstairs seats and either moved to the lower deck or changed buses.

At approximately 10pm Joseph reportedly turned his attention to Richard Whelan’s girlfriend of two years, Kerry. He began throwing chips at her and Richard, 28, asked him to stop it. Joseph, as shown on CCTV footage, got up and walked towards Richard from the back of the bus. Richard stood up and, as recalled by Kerry for a Guardian newspaper article, within moments the two men were fighting.

Kerry remembered how Joseph, 20 – year old and unemployed, seemed to be getting the upper hand but that Richard, looking pale and weak, was fighting back. At one point, the CCTV footage, showed, Joseph bit Whelan’s fingers in an effort to remove Richard’s tight grip. When Kerry saw a knife in Joseph’s right hand she began yelling for help and ringing the bell. She also grabbed Joseph and tried to pull him off of Richard.

The fight lasted just over half a minute. In that time, the court heard, Joseph stabbed Richard seven times. One knife thrust penetrated Richard’s heart. Though fatally wounded Richard still clung to Joseph and tried to prevent Joseph escaping. At the bottom of the stairs Richard collapsed in a pool of blood and Joseph, at the corner of Holloway Road and Wedmore Road walked off of the bus smirking.

With such clear evidence, Joseph’s only defence to the murder charge was to plead diminished responsibility. After his arrest he pleaded mental illness and his defence team stance claimed he was therefore guilty only of manslaughter. The prosecution, in contrast, claimed to have established that Joseph was, at the time of Richard’s murder, sane and rational and that Joseph was a man who routinely carried a knife.
At the retrial in November, Joseph admitted the killing and was found guilty of manslaughter.

He was sentenced to Broadmoor without a term limit.

TRACEY CULLUM. 30. July 12th 2005. Selly Oak, Birmingham.

Tracy Cullum, 30, from Selly Oak, was standing at a bus stop with her 12 year-old son, a friend and three other children when she challenged a group of four or five young blacks who had jumped the queue.

She turned away briefly and turned back to meet a fierce punch from one of the gang. The blow was so powerful that she spun and broke her ankle. Six weeks later she died of a coronary embolism as a result of the attack.

Det Ch Insp Jan Thomas West told the BBC officers were looking at CCTV footage and had spoken to a number of witnesses. Those involved in the incident, thought to number between four and five, are described as young black males.

The main offender who attacked Ms Cullum is believed to be aged 17 to 20, between 5ft 6in and 6ft tall and was wearing a dark hooded jacket.
“Clearly from the post mortem-examination, I am satisfied we can link the assault and resulting injuries to Tracie’s death,” Ms Thomas West said.

“The investigation was under way from the original assault and now we have more officers involved.”

Ms Cullum was waiting for the number 29 bus on Colmore Row in the city centre on the evening of 2 July with her son, a friend and three other children when she was attacked. She was confirmed dead at Birmingham’s Selly Oak hospital on 12 July after falling ill at home.

MARY-ANN LENEGHAN. 16. May 6th 2005. Reading.

Mary Ann and her friend were kidnapped, taken to a hotel to be tortured and raped for hours, and then Mary Ann was fatally stabbed while her friend escaped death following a gunshot to the head after they were taken to the recreation area in Tilehurst Road, Reading on May 7th 2005.

DANIEL PATER. 29. April 2nd 2005. Tooting, South London.

Daniel was shopping in the Fairways Convenience Store, Mitcham Road, Tooting when, on 25 March 2005, African immigrant Obinna Igboebisi allegedly picked an motiveless argument with him. Daniel, 29, was beaten unconscious. Taken to St. George’s Hospital he failed to regain consciousness and died a week later when, on 2 April 2005, his life support machine was turned off.

An inquest later found that when Daniel fell to the floor of the store his brain was probably speared by a metal hook on a goods display unit.
Arrested and charged Igboebisi later appeared, via a video link from Highdown Prison, at an Old Bailey hearing. He pleaded Not Guilty and was remanded in custody. No trial date was set.

PAUL TANNER. 23. March 4th 2005. Birmingham.

Paul Tanner, a 23-year-old trainee surveyor, was walking through St. Paul’s Square churchyard, Birmingham, in the early hours of Friday 4th March 2005, with a small group of friends. Walking towards Paul’s nearby home in Northwood Street, Hockley, they were viciously attacked by three youths, described as one black and two mixed race, aged 16 - 17. Antwya Bennet, the 16-year-old black leader of the muggers was carrying a six inch knife.

After robbing Paul of £40 and taking his mobile phone, Bennett repeatedly stabbed his victim, who had offered no resistance, in the chest and abdomen. He was rushed to hospital but died 24 hours later from stab wounds and internal bleeding.

On 1st December 2005, at Birmingham Crown Court, Antwya Bennett was ordered to be detained indefinitely and told that he would have to serve at least 14 years before becoming eligible for parole. Bennett’s teenage accomplices were each given two-and-a- half years for robbing Paul.

Paul’s father was quoted as saying the that the sentences were inadequate and that the family would never forgive Paul’s killer. He personally wanted revenge. Paul Tanner’s “life-long friend” and former flatmate, Guy Moreve, took part in the 2006 London Marathon in Paul’s memory, raising more than £7,000 for the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity.

JASON RIPLEY. 17. February 17th 2005. Sheepridge, Huddersfield.

Jason Ripley, a 17-year-old schoolboy boxing champion from Dalton, was stabbed during a lunchtime fight outside a Sheepridge Road, Huddersfield, bookmakers. On 19th October 2005, at Bradford Crown Court, his ‘Afro-Caribbean’ Huddersfield killer was remanded into custody pending sentencing and the compilation of a psychiatric report.

The judge said that that the teenage knifeman, who had changed his plea to Guilty, could expect a life sentence. In an unusual development the killer’s QC admitted that his client had gone to the crime scene armed with a knife and expecting trouble so could not claim to have acted in self-defence.

ADAM CROL and RSYZARD KRAZEWSKI. 21 and 44. January 13th 2005. Bedford.

In January 2005 Gabriel Boakye-Dankwa attacked three men in a shared house in Bedford. He attacked them because he believed that one of them had said that he was a terrorist. Wielding a cleaver the black killer murdered two Polish men, 21-year-old Adam Crol and 44-year-old Rsyzard Krazewski. He allegedly also severely injured 30-year-old Hugo Barrolho.

Convicted of the two murders at St. Alban’s Crown Court Dankwa was sentenced to indefinite detention at the Rampton secure mental hospital. During the March 2007 trial the charge of attempted murder in the case of Hugo Barrolho was left on file.

An illegal immigrant who should have left Britain in early 2004 Dankwa was a pub cleaner who lived in a multiple occupancy building in Bedford’s Grafton Road. According to a BBC News on-line report Dankwa “chased one of his victims out of the house and into a pub foyer…When it was over, he walked back to the house, changed his clothes, washed the knife and went to a local shop where he bought a bottle of wine and a drink. He then stood behind a police cordon and watched the activity at the murder scene. He was arrested when a policeman noticed blood on his shirt. Dankwa said he had ‘been in a quarrel’.”

COLIN WINSTONE. 44. January 11th 2005. Bristol.

When Bristol cabbie and father-of-two Colin Winstone refused to hand over money to an aggressive West Indian passenger he was stabbed through the heart, dragged from his taxi and robbed of money and his mobile phone. Found dying of stab wounds in the Easton area of Bristol, Colin died, in Bristol Royal Infirmary, later that day.

Not content with stabbing and robbing Colin 41-year-old Davidson Charles, of St. Paul’s, Bristol, then drove off in Colin’s taxi. This was quickly abandoned when Charles crashed it into a wall.

When Charles murdered Colin Whinstone he had been out of prison, on licence, for just seven weeks. He had several previous convictions, the last offence and sentence having been four years for snatching a handbag. When arrested for Colin’s murder he was living in a probation hostel and was under curfew. Charles denied murder but was found guilty at Bristol Crown Court on 14th November 2005 and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years and 2 months’ imprisonment.

Colin Winstone left behind a wife and two young children. Kelly Winstone, Colin’s grief – stunned widow, described her late husband as “every woman’s dream.” To lessen the grief of their two children Kelly told them that their murdered father was now “a star in heaven driving Jesus to Asda in his taxi.”

A keen rugby player, for the Imperial Rugby Club, Colin was remembered by his club of 14 years, at the next game, with a minute’s silence.

ERNEST MEADS. 58. December 23rd 2004. Edmonton, North London.

On 2nd March 2006 Turkish Kurd Ismail Dogan was indefinitely committed to Broadmoor for the killing of 50-year-old Ernest ‘Ernie’ Meads and the stabbing of five others. All of Dogan’s other victims, Raymond Day, 76, Jeffrey Arthur, 50, Roger Levy, 49, Victoria Cann, 30 and David Symes, 31, were also white.

Dogan, 30, is a paranoid schizophrenic. He told a forensic psychiatrist that the ninety minute rampage of attacks came after a bird told him to kill ‘English’ people. During six months of deterioration, which began when he ceased to take his olanzapine anti-psychotic medication, Dogan also heard voices telling him that he was the “voice of God and that “he would become like the son of Allah and would become a prophet.”
Dogan’s mother had tried to get official help after her son tried to strangle and was aggressive towards his sister and slashed his forearm with a razor. Six weeks before the December 2004 series of stabbings Mrs. Dogan asked Social Services for help. No-one, she later told the Police, listened to her. She asked the family GP to visit Dogan at home but the GP – one source suggested out of concern for his own safety – refused.
The end result was that, on 23rd December 2004, Dogan took the keys to the family car and began cruising the Edmonton, Palmer’s Green and Wood Green areas looking for victims. Ernest Meads, a married father of two, of Meridian Way, Edmonton, N18, was the last of Dogan’s victims.

He was stabbed seven times. One knife thrust entered his heart.

JOHN MONCKTON. 49. November 29th 2004. Chelsea, London.

In the early evening of 29th November 2004 two young men, one black and one light-skinned, fled from a four storeyed house in Chelsea’s Upper Cheyne Row. One of them was dressed as a postman and was bleeding from a arm wound. Running along Glebe Place towards King’s Road they had just committed a robbery, including what the police called ‘ferocious’ knife attacks, leaving behind them the fatally wounded financier John Monckton and his wife Homerya, who had been stabbed twice in the back.

While Hanson attacked and robbed Homeyra, Elliot White grappled with John Monckton. A 49 – year old City of London finance executive with Legal and General PLC (he was the Managing Director of Legal and General’s Bonds) John, reported the Telegraph, resisted White’s attack. During attacks by both Hanson and White John received eight stab wounds. One of those wounds fatally penetrated his heart. John collapsed and fell to the floor.

Their nine-year-old daughter Isobel, who had hidden upstairs after the killers had tricked their way into the house and attacked her parents, saved her mother’s life by calling 999 – she had lost seven pints of blood by the time paramedics arrived to help.

A barrister and a business executive John was, at 49, a Managing Director in the Bonds Division of the Legal and General PLC banking and insurance consortium. His team had won awards and collectively managed over £34 billion of clients’ assets. A devoted father of two and a loving husband, he was a chevalier of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and dedicated much time to charitable works. A devout Roman Catholic, he played an active role in the parish life of his local church. The Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor, said: “I am horrified at the news of the murder of an exceptional and faithful man.”

Damien Hanson, 24, of Fulham, West London and Elliott White, also 24, of a probation hostel in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, were ecstatic at their haul of £4,000-worth of jewellery and cash, but once arrested they turned against each other.

White was finally found Not Guilty of attempted murder but Guilty of manslaughter and of wounding Mrs. Monckton with intent. Hanson, who had a previous conviction for attempted murder, was eventually convicted of Monckton’s murder and sentenced to three life sentences. The Judge recommended that Hanson should serve a minimum of 36 years before being considered for parole. This is one of the lengthiest minimum terms ever handed out in a British legal history and is expected to keep Hanson behind bars until at least 2041.

The combination of the Monkton family’s wealth and upper class connections with mistakes by parole officers led to a great deal of media attention. This, of course, was right and proper – unlike the all too frequent near press blackout when the victims have the misfortune to be both white and poor.

CHRIS YATES. 30. November 7th 2004. Barking.

On 22 November 2005, a Old Bailey jury unanimously convicted three unemployed Ilford Muslims, Sajid Zulfiqar, 25, Imran Maqsood, 21, and Zahid Bashir, 23, of the November 2004 murder of 30-year-old Barking man Christopher Yates. Bashir and Maqsood were also found guilty of violent disorder. Earlier in the year, a fourth man, Junaid Khan, was convicted of stealing Chris’s mobile phone and sentenced to Community Service. On 24th November 2005 the above trio were each sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment.

Their victim had just escorted girl he knew to a late night bus stop after a night out with friends when he made the mistake of asking a group of Muslim men why they were arguing. They turned on him in a brutal and unprovoked attack.

The murder of computer data technician Christ Yates was controversial enough – a gang of young Asian men taunting and jeering at a lone white man in the early hours of a Sunday morning, three of them kicking and stamping on his head so violently, ‘like a football’, that they broke every one of his facial bones and fatally injured him – but the case earned a certain notoriety when, in spite of evidence to the contrary, the Judge declared that there was no racial element.

That decision meant that instead of a 30 year sentence Chris’s killers got off with the lesser term of 15 years. The case caused uproar and seemed to make a mockery of traditional British justice. All the more so because Sajid Zulfiqar, known as ‘Fatty’, had yelled in Urdu: ‘We have killed the white man. That will teach an Englishman not to interfere in Paki business.’

In an effort to evade justice the three killers fled Ilford and hid for a week in a hotel, owned by a friend, in the Yorkshire town of Pontefract. They planned to evade justice and to fly to Pakistan from Manchester Airport, but were caught after a porter heard them discussing their crime.

The Judge’s decision to reject any racial motivation was based on the fact the three had also shouted racial abuse at a black resident who had challenged them over damage to parked cars. They had also assaulted an Asian member of staff of a curry house. In a nearby alleyway they had also attacked a black man. These other attacks gave the Judge the opportunity to declare that there was no racial motive for the murder of Chris Yates.

A teenage girl who heard Sajid Zulfiqar yelling about the attack thought differently. Kajana Shrithana told the court: “He seemed to be boasting about it. He was laughing and joking.”

The Yates case became all the more controversial because it was compared to the murder in Liverpool of young black murder victim Anthony Walker. The angry and confused public comparison was that in the Walker case the killers were white and, ergo, the killing was officially labelled a racial attack. In the Yates case, an unprovoked and ‘ferocious’ attack, the killers were from an ethnic minority and, or so it seemed to many observers, the justice system was by far too keen to deny a racial motive in Chris’s murder, despite the very clear evidence of one of the killer’s own words.

MERVYN FLETCHER. 69. October 20th 2004 on Lichfield Road, New Invention, Willenhall, Birmingham.

On 15 August 2006 Mustapha Abdullah (40) appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court charged with the murder of Willenhall pensioner Mervyn Fletcher. Abdullah was also accused of robbing Mervyn (69) of his bank and building society cards. Abdullah’s plea of Not Guilty brought fresh drama to a case which began with Mervyn’s unexplained death and burial in 2004 and was re-opened in June 2005 after fresh evidence prompted a murder inquiry and a post-mortem.

Detectives now viewed his death, and his corpse’s subsequent discovery, as suspicious and made renewed investigation of his death a priority. Following exhumation of his body Mervyn was found, during a second post-mortem, to have a skull fracture which was sustained during the 2004 assault. On 30th March 2007, Abdullah was found Guilty of the robbery and murder of Mervyn Fletcher. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and told that he must serve 23 years before being eligible for parole.

Mervyn Fletcher (69) had lived in Willenhall for his entire life. With his brother Harold he ran a small lock-making factory. On 20th October 2004, says a family memorial website (http://mervynfletcher.gonetoosoon.co.uk/my_index.php) which carries a photograph of a smiling Mervyn, he was “beaten to death outside his own home and left to die in his garden, all for the sake of his wallet.”

On the above website Mervyn is described by Sonia, one of his two daughters, as “the kindest, most gentle, man you could ever wish to meet” and as “a true gentleman and loved by all who knew him.” Born in April 1935 Mervyn, as noted, had a brother, Harold. He also had twin sisters and “four beautiful grand-daughters.” Mervyn married his wife Margaret in 1957. Margaret died of cancer in 1991. Condemning Mustapha Abdulla’s ‘awful crime’, Sonia wrote that her father was “stolen from us in a violent and cowardly way.”

ROBERT SYMONS. 20 October 20th 2004. Chiswick.

A recently graduated Science teacher at Queen’s Park Community School in Kilburn, North London, USA – born Robert Symons had previously been a successful City management and IT consultant.

A devoted partner to his photographer wife Lynn Davies and the loving father of two young daughters, Harriet and Melissa, Robert was woken, in late October 2004, by a noise downstairs in their £1 million Chiswick, West London home. Lynn told him that it was probably her sister Angela, who was staying over with her husband, making herself a cup of tea.

At about 4 a.m., Robert, 45, went downstairs and, as his daughters, aged 3 and 4, slept upstairs, confronted Moroccan burglar and crack cocaine addict Yousef Bouhaddaou. Moments later, having heard her husband calling her name, Lynn ran downstairs screaming his name and saying that she was coming. The attacker fled, leaving Robert – stabbed through the heart – dying in his wife’s arms.

The Police arrested Yousef Bouhaddou, a 28-year old Moroccan-born petty criminal with a long history of burglary and aggravated theft. When charged, Bouhaddou, of Notting Hill, West London admitted the break-in, which he undertook to feed his £120 per day drug habit, but denied murder.

According to Bouhaddou Robert Symons, 45, had come at him with a kitchen knife (a Sabatier knife which had been given to Robert and Lynn as a wedding gift). There was a struggle and Robert was accidentally stabbed. It was, claimed Bouhaddou, ‘just bad luck.’

At Bouhaddou’s March 2006 Old Bailey trial, however,jurors heard how the knife wound which killed Robert was delivered with ‘such force that it cut through one rib, sliced through his lung and went straight through his heart.’ Also, investigating officers later found a kitchen knife in a nearby garden. The knife had Robert’s blood on it. Had the stabbing been an accident there would have been no need to have dumped the knife or for Bahoudda to have fled the scene.

Convicted after a 7-day trial, career-criminal Bouhaddou was sentenced to life imprisonment and was told by the Judge that he would have to serve at least 27 years.

DANIEL LEAHY. 36. October 13th 2004. Walworth.

Daniel was seen by witnesses arguing with three black men, outside a Lidl store on South East London’s Old Kent Road, at 10pm on 13th October 2004. Minutes later he was found in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds in the back of his neck. One witness said that it was raining but that the puddles beneath Daniel as he lay fatally injured were puddles of blood.

Thomas was rushed to St. Thomas’s Hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival. A colourful array of flowers marked the spot of his racist murder, testament to the shock and grief of his family and friends. Daniel and his brother and his sisters were all raised in the area.
CCTV footage was checked by the Police and three black men were arrested and questioned but were later released without charge. A fourth man was bailed pending further enquiries. The unsolved Leahy killing attracted almost no media attention.

GEORGE MacDONALD. 34. October 8th 2004. Central London.

In October 2004 Marcus Marriott, a 33 – year old, powerfully-built, black man from Chingford in Essex was a doorman at Stringfellows Covent Garden nightclub in Central London. Marriott is a amateur boxing and martial arts fanatic.

George MacDonald, 34, who died in a side alley near the club’s fire exit after being manhandled by Marriott, was a 21-stone marketing director who had been in the club celebrating with friends on a stag night. George, who had paid a Polish dancer, Anna Matkowska, £200 for a private lapdance, was accused by bouncers of trying to pull her towards him.

Although Anna said that he had done nothing wrong George, from Southam in Warwickshire, was thrown out of the club. When Marriott joined two fellow bouncers who were ejecting George through the above fire exit George allegedly became aggressive and tried to throw punches at him. Marriot, arguing in court that he acted in self-defence, allegedly said words to the effect of: ‘You think you are a big boy.’ and felled George with a single punch.

Marriott’s punch broke George’s upper jawbone. He staggered outside, fell and hit his head (fracturing his skull) on the alley pavement and a few moments later died from his head injury. The doorway struggle was captured on CCTV, Marriott’s punch was seen by police officers in a passing van and Marriott was charged with George’s murder.

A June 2004 jury cleared Marriott of murder but could not agree on a manslaughter verdict. At a early January 2006 Old Bailey retrial hearing Marriott was found Guilty of manslaughter and was remanded on bail pending sentencing. In late January he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment.

VINCENT SWIFT. 27. October 3rd 2004. Croydon.

On 8th September 2003 Vincent Swift was attacked and beaten in Thornton Heath by asylum seekers a mile from his south London home. Six days later his parents agreed to his St. George’s Hospital life support machine being turned off.

Vincent’s death was not that of an innocent bystander but he did not deserve to die at such a young age. Vincent, 27, his brother Richard, 19, and Guy Fitch, 19, were blamed at the October 2004 Old Bailey trial for triggering the previous year’s race gang warfare which erupted, in broad daylight, in suburban Thornton Heath.

Armed with “a stick, a bar, a torch and a chain of keys” the three white youths had racially taunted and challenged a group of Kosovan youths. 17 – year old Benet Sulkaj and Gentian Molla, 19, had gone home and “armed themselves with deadly weapons” (a five foot wooden pole, a kitchen knife and a car steering wheel lock). They then, said the prosecuting QC, “attacked their targets with great violence…..Mr. Swift was killed by a series of terrible blows to the side of his head inflicted by a man repeatedly striking him with the tree support stick.”

Taken to hospital, Vincent Swift was found to have severe brain damage, As noted, six days later his life support machine was switched off and a murder inquiry began.

Jailing Benet Sulkaj for life the Judge told him that he would serve at least ten years before becoming eligible for parole. Gentian Molla and a 17-year old fellow Kosovan were convicted of violent disorder; Gentian was sentenced to 27 months and the teenager to 12 months. Richard Swift and Guy Fitch both denied violent disorder but were respectively sentenced to 21 months and 18 months.

STUART WATT. 24. September 5th 2004. Blackpool.

Stuart Watt, 24, of Harcourt Road, South Shore, Blackpool was out with friends celebrating getting the cancer ‘all-clear’ after an eight month battle with Hodgkinson’s Disease.

Stuart was followed out of the club by head doorman Sajad Hussein Ali, who attacked him. Ali, 32, of Palatinate Road, Blackpool, allegedly struck and felled Stuart with a single blow. Stuart suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Blackpool’s Victoria Hospital. He was later taken to Preston Royal Hospital where, said the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, he underwent emergency surgery. At about 10.30pm on the Monday evening he died there after doctors confirmed that he was clinically brain dead.

Ali was originally charged with suspicion of serious assault but was later charged with murder. On Tuesday 07 September 2004 Ali appeared at Blackpool Magistrates Court. He was refused bail and was ordered to appear at Preston Crown Court on Monday 13 September.

DENIS FINNEGAN. 50. September 2nd 2004. Richmond Park.

50-year-old former banker Denis Finnegan, from Putney, was cycling through Souh London’s Richmond park when, on 2nd September, 2004, he was ambushed and several times stabbed in the chest and back with a 12 inch blade knife by mixed race schizophrenic John Barrett.

Barrett, 42, also from Putney, is a paranoid schizophrenic with a history of violence. In 2002, for example, in a waiting area in St. George’s Hospital, he went berserk and stabbed three people.

The day before he attacked Denis Finnegan, Barrett had been admitted to the Shaftesbury Clinic secure unit of Tooting’s Springfield Hospital. However, when a female consultant psychiatrist decided, without even seeing him, to grant him an hour’s ‘ground leave’, i.e. the right to wander in the grounds for an hour, Barrett discharged himself from psychiatric care and bought a set of kitchen knives.

When arrested he told officers that he had gone out the next day looking for someone. The voices in his head had told him to kill. As Barrett stabbed Denis through the heart the former Royal Bank of Scotland worker asked Barrett; “What have I done?” After the stabbing Barrett walked away wondering if he had imagined the killing.

On 22 March 2005, having pleaded Guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility; John Barrett was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Broadmoor secure hospital.

In June 2005 there was uproar when Denis Finnegan’s family belatedly discovered that a Judge had, some two months previously, used the so-called ‘slip’ rule – a legal device allowing a Judge to circumvent the Appeal process and to independently reduce a sentence - to reduce John Barret’s prison term by half.

This meant that rather than serve a minimum sentence of at least 15 and a half years John Barrett – a cannabis and ecstasy user who regularly failed to take his medication and quickly deteriorated - could be released after only 7 and a half years.

In February 2005, the Finnegan family had called for an independent inquiry to be launched. An official inquiry was initiated and a 400 – page report slammed the various administrative and medical blunders and slack attitude which it was suggested had led to the tragic killing of Denis Finnegan.

MARIE HARDING, 73. KEVIN MOLLOY, 46. JEAN ROBINSON, 68. DEREK ROBINSON, 75. September 2004, Southern England.

After injuring one man who had fought back and managed to wrestle a steak knife from his hand, Daniel Gonzalez calmly told his victim: “Sorry, I am a schizophrenic. I can’t help it.”

Richard Horwell, for the prosecution, told a jury at the Old Bailey in Central London that Gonzalez, who had a history of using hard drugs, had become “bored and frustrated with his existence”.

He said that Gonzalez, who had no friends but enjoyed playing computer games, could not cope with growing up to become a man. “In September 2004, the defendant pursued a campaign of murder from the South Coast to London,” Mr Horwell said. “When he was later interviewed he said that he had wanted to kill at least ten victims and thereby become a renowned serial killer.”

Gonzalez, of Woking, Surrey, was found guilty of murdering Marie Harding, 73, Kevin Molloy, 46, Derek Robinson, 75, and his wife Jean, 68, between September 15 and 17, 2004.

The weekend before the killings, Gonzalez went to a rave party in Hackney, East London, and took a variety of drugs before returning home and running naked in the street.

On the day of his first attack he armed himself with a steak knife from his home and took a train to Portsmouth. After spotting Peter King, 61, walking with his wife and their dog in a remote area, Gonzalez lunged at the man and shouted: “I’m gonna kill you.”

Mr King suffered cuts to his head and throat but survived after wrestling with his attacker. It was then that Gonzalez calmly said he was schizophrenic before running away.

Gonzalez later took a train to Worthing, where he bought a new weapon and attacked Mrs Harding as she walked from her daughter’s house to her home in Southwick. He surprised the pensioner from behind in a secluded copse, inflicting deep and fatal wounds to her neck and back. In an interview with police Gonzalez said that she had looked like a school teacher, and that he did not like school teachers.

The next day Gonzalez travelled to London and stole two large kitchen knives from the John Lewis store in Oxford Street before going drinking in the West End. At 5.20am the next day, he used both knives to attack Mr Molloy, a pub landlord, inflicting multiple wounds to the face, neck, chest and stomach.

Gonzalez went on to kill Mr Robinson, a retired paediatrician, and his wife at their home in Highgate, North London. Mr Robinson had dedicated his life to the welfare of children in the Third World and treating child torture victims in Africa. His wife was a music teacher.
Mr Horwell said the defence accepted that Gonzalez was the killer. He added: “Gonzalez has claimed that he was acting under the control of voices, that he was being compelled by the voices to kill. We do not accept the veracity of those claims.

“The details not only change from claim to claim but Gonzalez has in the past accepted that he deliberately fabricated symptoms of a mental illness in order to avoid being sent to prison.”

BERNARD HEGARTY. 29. August 16th 2004. Bethnal Green.

London architect Bernard Hegarty was on his lunchbreak, shopping for a carpet for his new flat near the Bethnal Green offices of his employers when, on 11 August 2004, he was mugged, at a cash point machine, by jobless and homeless 31-year-old crack cocaine addict Christopher Olokun.

Olokun, as he later admitted to an acquaintance in a Police cell, had smoked crack cocaine and was ‘hunting’…i.e., as his Old Bailey trial Judge said, looking for a victim to fund his next fix “regardless of the consequences.”

Normally, Olokun’s robbery victims saw the knife in his hand and quietly surrendered their cash and belongings. Bernard Hegarty, a 6’1” tall University of Brighton graduate, however, was not so easily intimidated. Threatened with the knife in Mansford Street, Bethnal Green, he refused to hand over his phone and wallet. There was a struggle and a woman saw Bernard collapse covered in blood.

Despite being stabbed several times in the chest. Bernard was able, before he passed out, to tell passers-by that he had been mugged and stabbed. Colleagues of Bernard, in the nearby offices of Stephen Davy Peter Smith, Architects, also saw him collapse and ran to help. A director of the company saw that Olokun had bungled the robbery and that Bernard’s wallet was still in a trouser pocket.

An air ambulance doctor gave Bernard open heart surgery on the pavement. Bernard was rushed to Whitechapel’s Royal London Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He never regained consciousness, however, and died there 5 days later.

Olokun, a crack cocaine addict from the age of 16 and dosing with friends in Hackney, was arrested in Stoke Newington after DNA testing of a dropped home-made knife sheath linked him to the crime scene.

Tried at the Old Bailey in October 2004, Olokun denied murdering and robbing Bernard Hegarty. He also denied several other robbery charges. A jury found him Guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to life for Bernard’s murder. The Judge told him that he would have to serve at least 25 years before being considered for parole.

GEMMA ATKINSON. 17. June 20th 2004. Doncaster.

Gemma, 17, of Hexthorpe, Doncaster met Mudadiwa Chinyoka, a 24-year-old illegal Zimbabwean immigrant , of Wharncliffe Street in Hexthorpe, on a blind date arranged via a mutual friend. For a couple of days they exchanged text messages then Gemma, on 20 June 2004, visited Chinyoka in his ground floor flat. The couple had sex, which the prosecution, leaving a rape charge on file, accepted might have been consensual but which was at times aggressive.

Chinyoka, whose UK visa ran out in 1997 and who had used various aliases, including that of an uncle, to stay in the UK, then beat Gemma to death. Afterwards Chinyoka panicked. He went out and bought a spade and tried to bury Gemma’s body in the cellar of the multiple – occupancy building.

According to the newzimbabwe.com news website “A pathologist found 48 separate injuries on Gemma’s body and said that she died from repeated blows to the head and neck. There were cuts on her back and buttocks and internal injuries.” The 24-year-old was described by the judge as ‘sadistic’.

At a Crown Court trial hearing Chinyoka admitted murder and a new statutory offence of intentionally assaulting her by penetration. Chinyoka’s defence lawyer said that Gemma’s killing was not premeditated and that his client woke up and found Gemma dead.

The Judge sentenced Chinyoka to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 20 years. When his sentence is served the Zimbabwean will be deported. Gemma’s parents said of Chinyoka: “He will get a fresh start when he comes out of prison; we have been given a life sentence.”

DONALD HILL. 65. June 16th 2004. Walsall.

Popular married man Donald, known locally as ‘Docker’, was walking home in Palfrey when he was attacked by a group of Asian men in their late teens or early twenties. He was knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly, dying from head injuries a week later in hospital.

D.C. MICHAEL SWINDELLS. 44. May 21st 2004. Nechells, Birmingham.

A paranoid schizophrenic who had not been taking his medication and who believed that the police and MI5 were persecuting him, Glaister Earl Butler threatened a council workman at his home then, later on Friday 21 May 2004, ran wild through the streets of Nechells, in Aston in Birmingham, threatening people with a 12-inch knife.

Chased by police officers he ran onto a canal towpath beneath the M6 motorway.

Listening to the chase on his radio 44-year-old Detective Constable Michael Swindells decided to help his colleagues. He and a fellow detective ran towards the towpath and joined the pursuit. Michael found himself at the front of the police group and quite close to Butler. Raising his baton above his head Michael, said a Downing Street Press Release about gallantry awards, shouted ‘Stop! Police!’

Instead of surrendering Butler, 44, lashed out with the knife. Michael, who was not wearing an anti-stab vest, managed to dodge the first knife thrust but could not avoid the next attack. Butler’s knife thrust plunged into Michael’s upper abdomen and struck his heart. Butler, a martial arts fanatic, kept on running. More than a mile further along the canal the black knifeman was stopped and subdued by armed Police officers.
On the following Monday, Butler appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court charged with murder. He was remanded in custody and the case was referred to Birmingham Crown Court. On 19 May 2005, a year almost to the day after the above incident and after an 8-day trial, Butler was found Guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He was ordered, by Mr Justice Calvert-Smith, “to be detained indefinitely (NB: under the Mental Health Act), at Ashworth secure hospital in Liverpool.”

The Judge also said that he “could not foresee a time when (Butler) would not pose a ‘serious danger’ either to himself or the general public, especially the police.”

As with other murder cases listed in these pages the Butler case reeks of the inadequacies and failings of Care In The Community when it comes to the treatment of paranoid schizophrenics.

A Jamaican born engineering graduate, Butler came to the UK when he was a child. His parents split up in the 1970’s. His mother went back to Jamaica and he lost touch with his father while still very young. As a teenager, Butler attended a comprehensive school and left with seven CSEs. For a while he worked as a apprentice tool maker but he later enrolled at Birmingham’s Aston University from where he graduated with degree in mechanical engineering. He soon found work as a Roll Royce’s first black design draughtsman but was made redundant in 1982.

Butler’s paranoia kicked in and he believed that he was laid off because the police had told Rolls Royce not to employ black workers – an idea which provides cast iron proof of a racist motivation.

As for D.C. Swindells and his distraught family, his second wife, now widowed, refused to give press statements. Michael Swindells left behind his widow and an 18 – year old daughter.

The Swindells lived in Burton – on – Trent and Michael was a detective at the Queen’s Road, Aston, CID offices. Michael joined the Police from the Army, where he had been a Royal Engineers Lance Corporal, in 1990. Originally from Hyde, Greater Manchester, he was a great fan of Manchester United. He worked with the Police’s football intelligence and liaison units and served in a specialist robbery team. In 2001 he joined the CID and was based at Queen’s Road, Aston.

In January 2006 senior West Midlands Police were proud to announce that Michael Swindells had been posthumously awarded the Queen’s Gallantry Medal. This was the highest bravery decoration ever awarded to a West Midlands Police officer. Chief Constable Paul Scott-Lee praised the courage which won that medal but also spoke for the force in general in lamenting the circumstances in which such a brave officer lost his life.

URSULA CRADDOCK. 82. April 27th 2004. Wanstead.

Ursula was knocked to the ground and robbed near her Wanstead, East London home by an unknown black man. She died in hospital three weeks later and a murder hunt was launched.

LEE MARTIN. 22. April 16th 2004. Manchester.

Private Lee Martin, of the King’s Regiment, was on home leave he was attacked by a two Middle Eastern or Asian men outside the Kansas Fried Chicken takeaway in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. Savagely beaten, he was taken to Hope Hospital in Salford. He never regained consciousness and died in hospital eight days later of a brain haemorrage.

Lee had attended Burnage High School and had recently graduated with honours at his army training camp in Catterick, North Yorkshire. An Army spokesman said that Lee had won an award of a week’s extra leave both for his excellence as a soldier and for ‘an outstanding act of bravery’. During a training exercise Lee’s platoon failed en-masse to complete a particular activity. Lee continued alone operating solo in ‘enemy’ territory.

In a few months’ time, he knew, Lee would be posted to Iraq or the Falkland Islands.

At the Kansas Chicken Takeaway Lee got into a minor argument with a stranger. The stranger, Dumaine Landa, was with his girlfriend and felt that Lee had insulted him. As Landa’s girlfriend warned Lee that some of Landa’s friends were being dragged into the argument Landa went into a nearby pub and asked two acquaintances to come outside and beat up Lee.

The two thugs quickly set upon Lee punching him and kicking him. At one point Lee broke away from his attackers but he fell and smashed his face on a kerb-side grating. A witness said that teeth fell on the pavement and that Lee was hyperventilating.

Lee’s attackers renewed the assault kicking and stamping on Lee’s head so often and so hard that witnesses said it was like watching the men playing football. CCTV footage, seen by Lee’s mother, showed that it was an unprovoked attack.

At Manchester Crown Court, Landa admitted that he had asked the two attackers to rough Lee up but that he did not expect that degree of violence. By late October 2004, when he was sentenced to 5 years for manslaughter, Landa had still not named the two men.

LEE WALKER. 22. March 31st 2004. Darlington.

Mixed race killer Lloyd Smith punched his victim so hard that he broke his jaw. As he fell to the pavement University student Lee Walker fractured his skull.

Lee, enjoying a gap year from his scriptwriting studies at Luton University, was in his home town for an evening out with friends. In the Barsize Pub Lee Walker and Lloyd Smith became embroiled in a minor dispute. Lloyd, a petty criminal, continued the row outside.

At 10pm on Monday 31 March 2004 Lee was found unconscious outside the bar. He was taken to his parents’ Cockerton home where he collapsed. He was rushed to hospital. Two days after Smith’s unprovoked assault, the case became a murder inquiry when Lee’s life support machine was turned off. A post-mortem examination established that Lee died of head injuries sustained during Smith’s savage assault.

Lloyd Smith, 29, of Corporation Road, Darlington, was arrested soon after the above attack. He appeared at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates Court on Saturday 03 April 2004 and was remanded in custody with a referral to Teesside Crown Court. He appeared at the Crown Court on 8th April and received two and a half years for manslaughter.

KRISS DONALD. 15. March 15th 2004. Glasgow.

The only white person on the 1999 IRR list of racist murder victims (though they couldn’t even spell his name right). Kriss was kidnapped from near his home in Pollokshields by an Asian gang, beaten and stabbed in their car, held and tortured overnight, mutilated and stabbed thirteen times. Despite these horrific injuries, the 15-year-old schoolboy was still alive when he was covered in petrol and set on fire. Even then he managed to crawl to a muddy puddle and roll in it to try to put out the flames The gang had gone out with the specific intention of finding, mutilating and killing a “white boy”.

One of the gang was sentenced to 17 years, several others were arrested many months later in Pakistan and were later sentenced. Kriss’s gravestone, was vandalised and desecrated with anti-White graffiti. Other white teenagers in the same part of Glasgow reported being intimidated by young Muslim men threatening to kill them in the same way.

The first trial received virtually no media coverage outside of the Scottish regional press. As a result, the BNP launched a strenuous campaign of criticism of the media for failing to cover the murder and its racist motivation. This was later admitted to have had a bearing on the decision of the BBC to give much more extensive coverage to the second trial and subsequent sentencing.

Despite this unusual amount of coverage, entering a Google search for Kriss Donald, and comparing the number, prominence of entries to those for Stephen Lawrence provides a crystal clear picture of the extent of institutionalised anti-white racism in the mainstream media. The dates for such entries are particularly instructive – single stab-wound victim Stephen Lawrence remains a permanent news feature, Kriss Donald has been consigned to the Memory Hole by the self-regulating Minitru that passes for a free press in multi-cult UK.

ANTHONY FARRELL. 21. February 13th 2004. Glasgow.

Anthony Farrell, just 21, was walking with his brother in Cathedral Street, Glasgow, when they saw a group of Iraqi Kurd asylum seekers. Earlier in the evening Anthony’s brother had been involved in a row with some asylum seekers.

Anthony believed the second group to be the same group. He challenged them and a fight began. Ali Mohammed Karim, 23, drew a knife and repeatedly stabbed Anthony. Karim, who ran away from the crime scene, was heard to yell: ‘I’ve finished him off!.’ Anthony later died of his wounds.

At the High Court in Edinburgh, in October 2004, Karim received a life sentence with a minimum tariff of only 12 years before being eligible for parole.

Karim arrived in the UK aged 19 and had previously lived in Rotherham in Yorkshire. At the time of the killing he was living in the Sighthill area of Glasgow. Karim had originally claimed that he could not have committed the murder because he was living in Rotherham under the asylum seeker dispersal scheme (he had come to Britain, through Dover, said the Daily Mail, ‘on the back of a lorry’). He then changed his story and fingered another Iraqi Kurd. The jury, however, did not believe him and found him Guilty on a majority verdict.

The frustratingly limited amount of media coverage of Anthony’s death contrasted sharply with the deluge of publicity given to the murder, by Scott Burrell, of the Sighthill-based Iraqi refugee Firsat Dag. When Firsat was murdered a veritable firestorm of protest saw pro-immigration groups marching in the streets calling for greater protection for refugees.

PETER WATKINS. 63. January 20th, 2004. Bournemouth.

Language teacher Peter Watkins was thrown from an upstairs window by Samer Al-Moufti. He was taken to Poole Hospital but died shortly afterwards. His assailant was charged with murder.

ASHLEY HEDGER. 16. January 16th 2004. Upton Park, East London.

Barnado’s boy Ashley was chased by a seven-strong gang of Muslims and brutally stabbed and beaten to death. The media tried to claim that the attack was in revenge for an attempted mugging by several of Ashley’s black friends, but the fact is that he was singled out for being white and left dying in a shop doorway in broad daylight.

SCOTT PRITCHARD. 19. January 7th 2004. Sunderland.

On 7th January 2003 Scott was found unconscious, with terrible head injuries, in the Hendon area of Sunderland, where there had been a series of unprovoked attacks on white people by gangs of Asian youths.

Scott had been unable either to run or to defend himself because he was on crutches and had a plaster cast on his foot. Local people and Scott’s family were – and are – convinced that he was another racial attack victim but, breaking their own guidelines, the police refused to accept the possibility. Indeed, they eventually arrested Scott’s father on suspicion of murder, although they were unable to produce a shred of credible evidence for this.

Many in the area believe this is part of an extraordinarily cruel and cynical police frame-up because he would not accept the lack of action over his son’s brutal murder, and because ‘community relations’ all too often seem to be more important to senior officers than justice or upholding the law.

Scott’s grief-stricken but angry father was only cleared in October 2005, when the Crown Prosecution Service finally admitted what his wife and so many locals had known all along - there was no reasonable body of evidence justifying continued prosecution. He was said by his solicitor to be “devastated by the death of his son” and hoped that the authorities could now focus on finding Scott’s killer.

TERRY GREGORY. 19. December 28th, 2003. Woolwich.

Terry, his girlfriend and a friend were getting off a bus when, on 28 December 2003, a middle-aged black man accused them of stealing his umbrella. They tried to avoid trouble by walking away but the stocky attacker followed them and stabbed the other lad in the hand. Terry was stabbed several times in the chest and at least once through the heart.

Soon after Terry’s death local police officers, who had issued a description of Terry’s attacker – a black male, early middle age with grey hair and of stocky build - were quietly surprised when 65-year-old George Edwin voluntarily presented himself at a local police station. Edwin was charged with murder and with Grievous Bodily Harm.

TED RHODES. 69. December 16th 2003. Wandsworth, South London.

A Black cyclist who punched a 69-year-old man in the face has never been caught by police investigating the murder. Ted Rhodes made a comment to the man who rode the wrong way down a one-way street, in Wandsworth, south London, at 2245 GMT on 14 December 2003.
The cyclist punched him to the ground. Mr Rhodes was helped to his flat where he was found dead two days later. Mr Rhodes, a retired journalist and scriptwriter, was walking home after drinking in The Grapes Pub, in Fairfield Street, when he was punched.

CCTV shows the cyclist began his route in Earlsfield then cycled down Garratt Lane to Wandsworth before going up Wandsworth High Street, against the one-way system, and into Fairfield Street.

Footage shows the man then cycling up Old York Road, over Wandsworth Bridge and into Fulham with the last CCTV image showing him outside the Slug & Lettuce pub on Fulham Broadway.

The suspect is described as aged in his late 20s or early 30s, black - possibly Jamaican - and casually dressed. Mr Rhodes was associated with many major TV series, including Z cars, Crossroads and All Creatures Great and Small. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of his death as injuries sustained during an altercation.

DANIEL HIGGINS. 18. November 9th 2003. Slough

Daniel Higgins, 18, of West Drayton, Middlesex, was tortured and killed by a non-white gang killed in a house in Burnham, near Slough, in November 2003.

Gang leader Mohammed Omar Akbar, 29, of Slough, was found guilty of murder. Akbar’s girlfriend, Rupinder Gill, 27, of Hounslow, was found guilty of assisting an offender, while Zahir Hussain, 27, of Slough, admitted assisting an offender.

Akbar, of Eastbridge Road, and Hussain, of Griffin Close, both fled the country after being charged in connection with the murder and were arrested in Barcelona in March, having been on the run for almost 16 months.

Gill, of Roseville Avenue, was arrested in May 2004 and was later charged in September 2004. In November 2004, Majad Khan, 29, of Wexham Road, Slough, was found guilty of murdering Mr Higgins and was jailed for life, to serve a minimum of 20 years.

Two 27-year-old men were also found guilty of assisting an offender, while a third man, also aged 27, pleaded guilty to the same offence; they were sentenced to seven, five and four years respectively.

BEN THOMPSON. 22. November 1st, 2003. Crawley.

Ben was the victim of an unprovoked racist attack by a gang of about six Muslims who beat him about the head then ran off. He died ten days later from serious brain injuries. Mehtab Hafiz, 22, and Nasir Khan, 19, both from nearby Langley Green, were charged with GBH.

CHARLENE DOWNS. 14. November 1st 2003

Local press reported that police believed 14-year-old Charlene Downs had been killed and her body dismembered and made into kebabs and her bones ground up and mixed with tile grout in a Muslim take-away in Blackpool.

MICHAEL JONES. 53. October 16th, 2003. Bermondsey.

Delivery driver Michael Jones was known locally as a quiet soul. At 1.00 a.m. on 16th October 2003, and on his own doorstep in Abbey Street, Bermondsey, he was shot by two black men who drove off in a dark-coloured getaway car. In the immediate aftermath of the attack a senior police officer refused to speculate about the possibility of a racial motive for the murder.

SEAN WHYTE. 17. September 29th 2003. Colne, East Lancashire.

Sean Whyte, originally from Montrose in Scotland, was stabbed in the chest after going to help friends who were being racially abused and were caught up in a street fight outside his home. Sean and friends had been celebrating his 18th birthday party. Disturbed by the noise outside Sean and some relatives went outside. Just moments before Sean had been singing to his mother.

When police arrived at around 10.20 p.m., Sean was dying, slumped in his mother’s arms. He was taken to Burnley General Hospital but died there soon after admission.

Hasan Mumtaz, 18,and Wasim Mumtaz, 20, both of North Street, were charged as result but Hasan, charged with murder, was found Not Guilty of murder and of wounding with intent.

Wasim Mumtaz had agreed that he was present but had denied murder or wounding Sean. He was remanded in custody and ordered to re-appear, at Preston Crown Court, for sentencing on 21 May 2004, regarding his conviction on the lesser charges of violent disorder and the “unlawful wounding of another resident on the same night.”

Wasim Mumtaz was found Not Guilty of violent disorder though he admitted to having been present at the scene. Following Hasan Mumtaz’s Not Guilty verdict Lancashire police said that they were not looking for anyone else but, almost unbelievably, declared the case ‘closed’.
Sean’s mother told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: ‘My baby is gone and we have been given a life sentence. What have we got to look forward in knowing he is no longer with us?’.

After the Mumtazes’ acquittal a BNP video team filmed a decent young Asian lad in Keighley Police Station naming the Asian gang-leader he said had moved from Colne to the town and who was walking around bragging of having stabbed Sean to death. He said that the police had been told about this but were doing nothing to use this information to bring Sean’s killer to justice.

On the BNP website the footage was described as a ‘BNP media scoop’. Posted on May 2nd 2005, the BNP report stated: “Yesterday two BNP Bradford councillors visited Keighley Police Station, along with Yorkshire Organiser Nick Cass, to try to discuss a series of anti-white racist incidents. A young Asian lad was waiting in the foyer (hoping) to speak to an officer and when our councillors announced they were councillors the young man volunteered information about thugs within the Muslim community and was able to confirm that he knows the identity of the man who stabbed Sean Whyte and that the man has moved from Colne, some ten miles away, and now resides in Keighley.”

The police’s total lack of interest in finding Sean Whyte’s killer calls to mind the similar police disinterest in the background to the death of Peter Woodhams. After persistent pressure police officers investigating claims of a racial murder eventually announced that the actions of three colleagues involved in the Woodhams’ case were to be investigated. West Yorkshire police, however, seem to have an even lower opinion of young working class whites, and nearly three years later have not even bothered to ask for a copy of our original footage, in which the name of the alleged killer can clearly be heard.

Not surprisingly, the local, regional and national media also refused to cover the scandal.

MICHAEL AUSTIN. 34. August 29th 2003. Clerkenwell.

Newly-wed Michael was with his wife of just three weeks, Lynn, when he was attacked by two ‘South East European’ males, who may have been Albanians, and beaten to death with an iron bar. The assault occurred shortly after midnight on Thursday 28 August 2003 opposite Farringdon Tube Station. Michael was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. This was an unprovoked killing of a kind soul described by his mother as ‘a man of gentleness.’

DANIEL BATTEN. 20. August 16th, 2003. Harlow.

Verbally abused by a gang of seven Asian and Chinese youths Daniel Batten and two friends were first approached by three males in a kebab shop in Staple Tye, Harlow.

Later, in Brockles Mead, the same three males plus 4-5 others again approached Daniel and his friends. In the ensuing short fight two of Daniel’s attackers produced knives. Daniel, of Gibb Croft, Harlow was stabbed in the chest. The knife penetrated both his heart and a lung. He was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital but died there. One of his friends was also stabbed in the chest but survived.

One of Daniel’s alleged attackers was soon afterwards arrested but was almost as quickly released. The Ealing Times later reported that two Harlow 18 – year olds, Hoa Dang of Collins Meadow and Amir Sattar of Barley Croft, had been charged and remanded in custody. Both men were ordered to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court. A 21-year old was arrested on suspicion of murder but released without charge. Unusually for cases with white victims, Det. Supt. Win Bernard confirmed that “racial motivation is one possibility.”

On 10 August 2004 Imran Hussain (22) of Northbrooks, Harlow, who had denied killing Daniel, was found Guilty of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum term of 15 years. Khurrum Hussain and Hoa Dang were found Guilty of violent disorder and sentenced to 2 years. Amir Sattar received 1 year for violent disorder.

In October 2005 Imran Hussain challenged his sentence claiming, as reported by the Harlow Star, that a juror in his trial may have been “racially biased” against Asians. A racist comment by one juror was reported to the trial judge by another juror. The trial judge, said Hussain’s Appeal lawyers, should either have discharged the entire jury or discharged the errant juror.

Lord Justice May of the Court of Appeal, however, said that the trial judge proceeded correctly and that the body of forensic evidence against Hussain – including traces of Daniel’s blood on Hussain’s car seat – was sufficiently strong to merit his prosecution. Lord Justice May did agree, on the grounds of Hussain’s age, that the 15 year minimum term was too long. The term was reduced to 14 years.

RICHARD CROMARTY. 66. July 15th, 2003. Maidstone.

Iraqi asylum seeker Sherzad Jamal Muhamed lived in the same house as 66-year-old Richard Cromarty. Richard, who lived alone, was stabbed by Muhamed in his Maidstone flat.

JOHN GOODMAN. 52. April 8th, 2003. Ealing.

A Brazilian drifter was found guilty of killing a man whose body was never found. Fabio Pereira moved into his victim’s flat in Mattock Lane, Ealing.

John Goodman, a 51-year-old man suffering from cancer and who lived alone, was reported missing by a neighbour. He was last seen alive on March 20, 2003.

When detectives visited Mr Goodman’s flat they found Pereira living there. Pereira, found guilty, told officers his name was Jose Santos and said he had bought the flat from Mr Goodman a month before.

Pereria took over Mr Goodman’s life, using his credit cards and mobile phones.

Detective Chief Inspector Alistair Tully said: “Our thoughts and condolences are with the family of John Goodman at this time. His body has never been recovered and until it is the family are unable to move on through their grief.”

RONNIE KETTRIDGE. 56. April 5th, 2003. Sheffield.

When Sheffield milkman Ronnie Kettridge refused to give up his car during a car-jacking he was held prisoner in his car, severely beaten and robbed and eventually dumped from the moving vehicle. His body was found by a taxi driver in the middle of a busy road.

In December 2003 Jamie Lee Osbourne (19) and his white girlfriend Adele Silkstone (17) appeared at Sheffield Crown Court charged with murder and manslaughter with robbery. Osbourne, who fled Sheffield and was later arrested in Leeds, was jailed for life. Silkstone was jailed for 8 years. Her sentence was later reduced on appeal.

Ronnie Kettridge had just remarried. His grieving wife’s ‘sentence’ can never be reduced.

ERNEST WILSON. 48. April 1st, 2003. Clapham, South London.

Pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, Ernest Wilson had been assaulted by two black men at a bus stop near his St. Mungo Hostel home. After the 11pm incident Ernest staggered back to his room at the hostel where he collapsed. One suspect was in his early 20s, of medium height and of stocky build. The other, possibly younger, was slim and wore a green hooded top with the hood up.

GEORGE ROWE. 79. April 2003. Limehouse, East London.

From September 2002 till February 2003 elderly White residents of Tower Hamlets were terrorised by Asian thug Sabul Miah.
A crack cocaine addict, Miah, 28, carried out his attacks while on bail for other offences. His most vicious crime, for which, in April 2003, he received two life sentences, was inflicted upon 79-year-old George Rowe. Sentencing Miah the judge said that he was ‘a violent man’ and ‘completely out of control’.

Shortly after Christmas 2002 George had just collected his OAP pension when Siah several times stabbed and beat him. During the attack George was kicked and punched repeatedly. He was stabbed in the chest and his throat was cut. George Rowe died 12 weeks after the assault.
Among Miah’s many other elderly white victims, all of whom were attacked after they had collected their pension money, were Maisie Bailey and John Cameron, both 85, and 82-year-old Sarah Munday. Sarah was stabbed in the hand and Maisie was left with a dislocated shoulder and a broken hip.

BRIAN DODD. 72. March 25th, 2003. Prestatyn, North Wales.

Paul Khan, a 34-year-old and heavily built Anglo-Asian, is a paranoid schizophrenic. When arrested for the murder of retired accountant Brian Dodd Khan could give no reason for having stabbed Brian 37 times with a large kitchen knife.

Sentenced to life and incarcerated in Merseyside’s top security Ashworth Hospital the mixed race killer was arrested three days after he killed dog-walking Brian Dodd on the beach at Prestatyn. Khan pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

In 1996 Khan grabbed a white man in Cardiff Central Library and slit his victim’s throat with a razor. Peter Turnbull, survived the attack. Sentenced to six years’ imprisonment Khan was held in Whitchurch mental hospital where he served just three years.

In addition to serving just over half of his sentence Khan sued the Whitchurch Hospital authorities. His action, on the grounds of inadequate care, resulted in a out-of-court settlement for the killer.

HILDA ASHDOWN. 81. March 25th, 2003. King’s College Hospital, Camberwell, London.

The sixth victim of Elroy Simmonds, Hilda Ashdown died in hospital on Tuesday 25 March 2003. Admitted to hospital after a vicious assault and robbery by Simmonds and an accomplice, Hilda died of injuries sustained in the attack.

Preying on elderly victims aged between 70 and 90, Simmonds and his fellow attacker were passing Hilda’s home at about 6.30pm on Saturday 15 March 2003. The door was open. Forcing their way past Hilda they demanded cash. Repeatedly punching and kicking her, the duo made with her handbag, which they later dumped.

HANNAH FOSTER. 17. March 14th, 2003. Portswood, Southampton.

Southampton Police offered a £70,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Maninder Pal Singh Koli, a Sikh wanted for questioning about the abduction and murder of Southampton A Level student Hannah Foster.

After a night out with friends in Portswood, Southampton, Hannah was abducted as she later walked home. Her screams were heard by a passer-by. Two days later, five miles away, Hannah’s fully clothed body was found in undergrowth in Allingdon Lane. She had been strangled.
A 35-year-old married father of two, Koli knew Hannah by name and twice spoke to her near her home. Within two days of Hannah’s murder Koli fled to India, from whence he was eventually extradited to stand trial for Hannah’s murder.

MARSHA McDONNELL. 19. February 5th 2003. Hampton, West London.

Being blonde made 19-year-old Marsha McDonnell a target for Romany gypsy racist serial killer Levi Bellfield. The pretty, slender gap year student and talented musician was doomed the moment the powerfully-built nightclub bouncer spotted her at a bus stop and decided to attack her with a hammer if she turned down his sexual advances.

Brutally coshed from behind, Marsha was found with massive head injuries and died in hospital two days later. When Bellfield was convicted of her murder, and the almost identical slaughter of blonde French secretary AMELIE DELAGRANGE, 22, August 2004, it was revealed that he was a conscious racist with a “pathological hatred of blondes. According to the Daily Mail (26/2/08) “Bellfield would boast of his ‘pure’ gypsy blood, claiming it made him superior to other races.”

After his conviction and life sentence, police revealed that there is a large amount of evidence that Bellfield murdered 13-year-old MILLY DOWLER in Walton-on-Thames on March 21st, 2002.

DOROTHY STOKES. 83. February 2nd 2003. Ealing, West London.

The murder of a defenceless pensioner is always shocking, but the killing of 83-year-old Dorothy Stokes was all the disturbing because it was mostly ignored by the left-liberal media.

Mugged for the second time on 2nd February 2003 – she had previously been mugged some 18 months earlier - Dorothy was attacked while walking home from local shops. She was ambushed and jostled by two Asian men and died of brain injuries at midnight that night.

During her ordeal at the hands of 20-year-old Muslim Zubar Ali and 30-year-old Sikh Anandeep Singh Lotay, Dorethy was thrown to the ground where she banged her head and suffered fatal brain injuries. Her attackers were quickly caught and were charged with murder and robbery.

DAVID SHEEHAN. 35. January 30th, 2003. Ealing, West London.

Subjected to a long and vicious assault David Sheehan suffered over 40 slashes and stab wounds. His throat was cut and his body left in his flat. A senior Serious Crime Group officer said that two black males had been arrested in connection with the offence.

STEPHEN OAKE. 40. January 14th, 2003. Manchester.

Stabbed to death during a police raid on a ricin factory run by North African terror suspects, Detective Constable Stephen Oake died in a War on Terror operation which frustrated other terrorist plans as well and almost certainly saved many innocent lives.

Survived by a widow and three children, D.C. Oake was a victim of the Blair regime’s lax policy on political asylum. Police victims generally seem assured of more coverage than murdered civilians, so D.C. Oake is posthumously assured of his place in popular memory as a needlessly fallen hero.

BRIDIE SKEEHAN. 92. January 3rd, 2003. Paddington, West London.

Just days after West London millionairess Bridie Skeehan told media students of her fears over London’s soaring crime rates, police officers investigating her brutal murder expressed shock at the savagery of her injuries and suffering.

The battered corpse of the elderly Liverpudlian was found in a shed behind her luxury apartment. Investigating officers arrested two Filipino lodgers Nimpha Ong, the 48-year-old housekeeper, and 22-year-old Ahmend Alhaddal.

CATHERINE WRENN. 85. December 14th, 2002. Hackney. London.

A grinning black youth, seen running and laughing as he fled a crime scene, was thought by Hackney Police to be a likely suspect in the mugging and later death of 85-year-old Catherine Wrenn.

Attacked while opening her front door, the locally adored Miss Wren was assaulted and robbed for a pitiful £13. Found slumped outside her door, the retired midwife regained consciousness only briefly. She died three days later in Homerton Hospital. Serving generations of local Britons, Miss Wren had delivered over 5,000 babies.

AARON CHAPMAN. 23. December 10th 2002. Sutton, Surrey.

Young prison officer Aaron Chapman was stabbed through the heart and liver outside his home in Sutton, Surrey. He was rushed to hospital but died the next day.

The police announced that they were looking for two suspects, “one black and one white” and for the murder weapon, a “knife with a long blade.”

SCOTT ANTHONY OSBOURNE. 30. November 30th, 2002. Lewisham, West London.

Tall, bespectacled Scott Osborne was said by friends and family to be wholly non-violent.

In late November 2002 Scott was kicked and punched to death in a fracas which began and ended outside a Lewisham Tesco store. Scott died at the scene.

Local pro-white activists complained that the media tried to stifle coverage of this black on white racist murder (This Is London website; news, 2-3 November 2002).

THOMAS SCOTT. 34. October 20th, 2002. Kentish Town. North London.

Justice for some and not for others is how the family of Kentish Town murder victim Thomas Scott rightly view society today.

Attacked by four Muslim males, whose weapons included a bread crate and a knuckle duster, Thomas was beaten to the ground outside Kentish Town Tube Station. Unconscious, he was taken to hospital where medical staff later pronounced him brain dead and switched off his life support system.

At an August 2003 trial hearing relatives were shocked when some gang members received only 18 months’ imprisonment – not for murder but for violent disorder - and their names were the subject of a gagging order.

Kentish Town Muslim thug Mohamed Ahmed (20) was jailed for only two years. With such legal disinterest in Thomas’s death, the Scott family rightly declared themselves doubtful of ever securing what they regard as proper justice for their sorely missed Tommy.

JOSEPH BLAKEWOOD. 24. October 12th, 2002. Bolton. Greater Manchester.

Stabbed in the back during an attack by a group of black males, Joseph Blakewood later collapsed and died in hospital. Police arrested and charged three men and were hunting another.

LIAM ATTWELL. 25. October 7th, 2002. City Centre, Bristol.

A Good Samaritan who hated bullying, Bristol chef Liam Atwell was livid when, a 15-year-old was mugged for his mobile phone on College Green. Remonstrating with five black youths Liam was stabbed through the heart. He died in hospital four days later.

A major concern of many locals is that Bristol’s main Police Station is only 5 minutes away from the crime scene and that the Police arrived 20 minutes after the 999 call was logged.

KENNETH HOLDEN. 20. August 1st, 2002. Horsely Hill.

Unconfirmed reports in August 2002 described how two black men robbing Kenneth Holden’s flat allegedly set upon him and beat him to death with a crowbar.

ALAN MUSGROVE. 39. July 5th, 2002. Forest Gate, East London.

Complaining about his street’s infestation of drug dealers cost Alan Musgrove his life.

When he answered the door to two black men, one attacked Alan and forced his way into the hall. Alan and his wife ejected him but the second, gun-toting, attacker appeared and shot Alan. Both attackers then fled the scene.

The terrifying struggle was witnessed by three of the couple’s five children. A Police statement described Alan’s family as ‘devastated’.

TONY ELSE. 33. June 2nd, 2002. Orpington, Kent.

Yet another example of the printed and broadcast media ignoring a black-on-white death, the murder of Tony Else compels us to question public acceptance of such news blackouts.

Beaten to death by a gang of Muslims, Tony Else was attacked while walking on Orpington High Street. Police arrested eight men and three were charged with murder and given bail.

Tony was accused of breaking a kebab shop window and attacked by a gang of Turkish employees. Set upon by the mob he was punched and kicked to the ground.

Unable to escape the hail of blows and kicks, Tony collapsed. He was rushed to hospital but died there shortly afterwards.

JOHN ELLIOTT. 37. April 6th, 2002. Wimbledon, South London.

Viciously beaten by mixed race killer Winston Richards, innocent victim John Elliott was enjoying a quiet drink when set upon and thrown through the plate glass window of his local pub. Police charged Richards with John’s murder.

GAVIN HOPLEY. 19. February 16th, 2002. Oldham.

Having walked along Oldham’s Greengate Street after a night out 19-year-old Gavin Hopley and two friends were looking for a taxi when they were chased further into the Muslim-dominated ‘no-go’ area of Glodwick by a gang of ten Muslim men and youths.

Local white youngsters would probably have known better than even to go ear the place, but Gavin was to pay the price for the conspiracy of silence by Greater Manchester police and the media, which meant that the three lads from Rochdale didn’t know the danger they were in.

Gavin was cornered and brutally beaten, with his head being stamped on time and time again. A kindly elderly Muslim woman called the emergency services and covered the unconscious teenager with a blanket. Taken to hospital, he never recovered consciousness.

Gavin’s headstone has been attacked and flowers destroyed. The attackers were said to have been Muslim youths. A memorial plaque fixed near the spot were Gavin was murdered by the local BNP was removed by the police, despite the fact that his grandparents had given the go ahead for it.

OWAIN LEESON. 17. February 14th, 2002. Sheffield City Centre.

Owain Leeson ended a Valetine’s evening out bleeding to death from his injuries in a Sheffield night club car park. Beaten about the head and run through with a large knife, Owain was attacked by a group of young males. His attackers were described as young Asian and mixed race males in their late teens to early twenties.

While police searched for his still un-caught killer, officers highlighted how the car park row began when Owain accidentally trod on someone’s foot inside the club. After leaving to avoid trouble, the lone teenager was cornered by the cowardly gang and murdered.

TIM ROBINSON. 25. January 27th, 2002. Battersea. South London.

As he parked his car in South London, 25-year-old Tim Robinson was spotted by a group of car-jacking black males. During their hijacking effort Tim was stabbed to death.

ANTHONY O’BRIEN. 24. January 27th, 2002. Walworth, London

When Anthony O’Brien was buried his cortege procession was watched by hundreds. Over 1,000 people attended his funeral. The popular local young man had been stabbed to death by a six-feet tall black male outside the George V pub.

Had Anthony been a pop star, a politician or a black civil rights activist such a turnout would have guaranteed local and national headline. Because he was just an ordinary White man killed by a black assailant the media collaborated with the race relations industry and all but ignored his murder.

KEVIN JACKSON. 31. January 1st, 2002. Halifax, West Yorkshire.

In a case that received an unusual amount of media attention, three Bradford Muslims, Raees Khan, 21, Rashid Zaman, 21, and Rangzaib Akhtar, 19, were all convicted of the murder of Skircoat Green, Halifax, family man Kevin Jackson.

The father of two disturbed the trio trying to steal or rob his father-in-law’s car. He chased them off. During the chase Kevin suffered a fatal injury when one of the group stabbed him in the head with a screwdriver.

BRADLEY KNIGHT. 23. December 22nd, 2001. Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire.

Bradley Knight was a popular youth rugby coach whose voluntary coaching and club promotional activities were much valued by his local club. As a team member, Bradley carried that spirit into all that he did for the surrounding community. Bradley’s family and friends were therefore shocked when, due to Bradley having allegedly racially abused his killer, Daniel Jethoo, the thug was found guilty not of murder but of manslaughter.

The alleged racial abuse was how Jethoo, who had previous convictions for drug offences, justified leaving the pub, returning with a Samurai sword and hacking repeatedly at Bradley Knight, leaving him lying with terrible injuries in a pool of blood. Bradley’s friend Peter Matthias was also attacked. The next day, doctors at Chase Farm Hospital pronounced Bradley dead.

In spite of the Knight family’s protests that Bradley had never before behaved in a racist manner, a St. Alban’s jury believed Jethoo about the alleged abuse and provocation. Jethoo was given just 9 years for a horrific offence which included numerous sword wounds and spitting on his mortally wounded victim.

This ‘racist provocation’ defence is common in all levels of anti-white racist violence, from playground tussles right up to murder. Sometimes it may have some basis in fact but, even when it does, it surely should not be allowed as an excuse to let a premeditated killer like Jethoo to get a slap on the wrist manslaughter sentence making him eligible for parole after a mere four-and-a-half years?

SCOTT YOUNG. December 14th 2001. Romford, Essex.

While walking with two friends one evening, a car cruised by containing three violent Africans, 17 year old Yannick Etutu, Joseph Ogwang & Roland Monie.

Ogwang jumped from the car and ran towards the unsuspecting white youth. Etutu, with past convictions for robbery, punched Scott in the face; while trying to get away, Scott ran into the road, was hit by two cars and died almost instantly. At the Old Bailey Etutu was convicted of manslaughter, Ogwang was cleared and Monie was never charged.

Outside Romford greyhound stadium, where he was killed, is a memorial to Scott. His school has created an award in his name and a memorial garden.

P.C. MALCOLM ‘MAC’ WALKER. 45. October 4th, 2001. Perry Barr, Birmingham.

On 27 February 2004 veteran criminal Nicholas Walters was given leave to appeal against his conviction for murdering motorcycle police officer Malcolm ‘Mac’ Walker. Pursuing and trying to stop 23-year-old Walker, who was speeding and driving dangerously in the Nottingham area, Constable Walker (45) was several times rammed by Walker, eventually being knocked off his bike and being killed.

At Walker’s Nottingham Crown Court trial PC Walker was honoured as “the epitome of heroism.” Sometime after his death, the Constable’s memorial stone was also rammed by a car.

ROSS PARKER. 17. September 23rd, 2001. Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

Ross Parker was walking his girlfriend home when they were attacked in an underpass by a gang of up to eight Muslim youths. As the 17-year-old was repeatedly kicked and stabbed, his horrified girlfriend ran off to get help. By the time she found the police and led them to the scene, the teenager was dead.

Months later, the only memorial to young Ross was a spray-painted “RIP Ross Parker” on the dirty concrete. Anti-white racist graffiti could be seen nearby.

SHIRLEY COTTON – BETTERIDGE. 29. 29 August 2001. Bristol, Avon.

Described by a Court psychiatrist as a long-term threat to others Paul McMillan was, in 2001, a convicted sex offender and psychopath who had served 12 months for the violent beating and indecent assault of a young female.

A high risk sex offender who had missed probation service appointments and was not on the Sex Offenders’ Register – though he was theoretically being monitored – McMillan was employed as a barman by bar manager Shirley Cotton – Betteridge.

One evening, Shirley asked McMillan to help her lock up. Her bloodied corpse was discovered the following morning. Mimicking fantasies based upon video pornography McMillan repaid Shirley’s trust by wildly stabbing her to death. In exchange for a guilty plea and a reduced plea of manslaughter McMillan was sentenced to life as a patient in Broadmoor.

CLARE DRUMMOND. 20. August 2001. Plumstead, London.

‘I have been under a lot of pressure.. I just went mad and I strangled her’. Such was the confession to Police of 45-year-old mini-cab office worker Rafael Lopez. After a daytrip in Kent, Lopez and ex-girlfriend Clare Drummond were arguing, in Lopez’s shared Plumstead flat, about Clare’s new partner. Having killed Clare, Lopez hid her body under his bed.

AMANDA CLARKE. 32. 26 May 2001. Wandsworth, South London.

Amanda was a friend of Anne Cypher (see directly below) and herself a mother of two teenage children. Black villian Robert Alleyne, 36, also bludgeoned her in the robbery of the Players Snooker Club, where she was found lying in the foyer. She died in hospital of a fractured skull seven days after the attack.

ANNE CYPHER. 42. 19 May 2001. Wandsworth, South London.

A week after she was battered to death by mixed race crack cocaine addict Robert Alleyne, 32-year-old Amanda Clarke died of a fractured skull. Stabbing her in the foyer of a Wandsworth snooker club, Alleyne (36) attacked Amanda, during a robbery in which he took the £200 till float. Three days after the attack Alleyne hung himself in his flat. A mother of two teenagers Amanda Clarke was not the only victim of that robbery. Before stealing the club’s till float Alleyne grabbed a bar stool and launched a murderous attack which left club manager Anne Cypher, 42, dead with 19 injuries to her head and body.

HILDA LOCKERT. 86. 15 May 2001. Brixton, South London.

The last birthday ‘gift’ any of us expects is a violent mugging and an untimely death. On 15 May 2003, Brixton pensioner Hilda Lockert was attacked by two black youths. Robbed of just £15.00 and her bus pass, Hilda was heaved down the stairs of her building. She died of her injuries on her 86th birthday. Hilda had been a victim of no fewer than 6 similar attacks.

ROSIE ROSS.16.12 May 2001. Birmingham City Centre.

In the blossom of her youth, policeman’s daughter and 5th form schoolgirl Rosie Ross was stabbed by Asian assailant Inderjit Kainth.

GARY OSBOURNE. 24. 18 April 2001. East Finchley, North London.

Better known for his role in smuggling £12 million worth of cocaine into the UK black criminal Kristian Maher served 2 years for that offence in a St. Lucia, West Indies, jail.

Just four weeks after his release from jail Maher was back in Britain and telling friends that he planned to murder a White man named Gary Osbourne. Following Osbourne Maher launched an attack with a double-edged 6“ knife.

In an April 2001 daytime argument Osbourne was stabbed to death. Maher’s trial jury delivered a unanimous guilty verdict.

DAISY FENTON. 88. 30 March 2001. East Dulwich, South London.

For three long days, before she finally died of her injuries, 88-year-old Daisy Fenton suffered the pain of injuries inflicted upon her by black mugger Michael Munning. Walking with a stick Daisy weighed just 87lbs and was only 4’10”tall.

Robbing Daisy of a measly £20.00 Munning broke 5 of her ribs and left her with fractures to the nose, cheek arm and breast bone. For this horrific crime Munning was sentenced to only 7 years’ imprisonment.

NELLIE CUTRESS. 91. 07 March 2001. Kidbrooke, South London.

Among the spate of 2001 muggings of elderly White London pensioners was the brutal robbery and fatal injuring of Kidbrooke resident Nellie Cutress.

An active and independent old lady Nellie was walking to her local Ferrier Estate pensioners’ club when, on 07 February 2001, she was attacked by a mixed race youth. Aged about 18 and 5’7” tall the youth threw Nellie to the pavement and pulled her handbag from beneath her. Nellie, meantime, suffered bruising down one side of her body. One month after the attack a blood clot linked to her injuries finally claimed her life. Her attacker escaped.

ELIZABETH AMLOT. 39. 01 February 2001. Woodside Park, North

By the age of 21, Sertan Balci was a serial sex offender who, since 1994, had pounced upon a number of unsuspecting victims. Before his 22nd birthday he had added murder to his list of crimes.

A Turkish Kurd who had arrived in Britain as a 12-year-old ‘asylum seeker’ Sertan Balci was, on 01 February 2001, roaming the Woodside Park area of North London. Spotting Elizabeth Amlot walking home from a New Year church party, Balti grabbed her and forced her into an alley.

Punched to the ground and repeatedly kicked Elizabeth was robbed of just 7 pence. Four weeks later she died in hospital.

Balci, whom a jury later found guilty of her murder, that night also produced a knife when robbing a chef.

Yet again, the open door immigration and asylum policies of successive Tory and Labour governments are repaid not with gratitude and honest labour but with vicious crimes, violent muggings and the murder of innocent White Britons.

SIMON HENDERSON. 21. 28 January 2001. Maida Vale, West London.

When Simon Henderson’s father learned of his son’s savagely inflicted death he suffered a massive heart attack and died a week later.
Found guilty by a Old Bailey jury and sentenced to life by a Judge who described Simon’s murder as ‘a mindless and savage killing for kicks’, Muslim killer Somir Akhbar is safely locked away – but Simon’s mother feels that justice is not yet fully done and that Akhbar killed not just her son but her late husband.

Wiping his blood-stained knife on his T-shirt, 19-year-old Akhbar callously walked away from Simon Henderson’s lifeless body. Just a few moments earlier, Simon had been waiting for the lift / elevator that would take him to the 12th floor of his parents’ tower block.

Looking forward to seeing his sick father, Simon did not hear Morocco-born Akhbar approach him. Within seconds Simon’s throat had been slashed twice. Akhbar then twice plunged his knife into Simon before calmly watching him bleed to death. As he walked away Akhbar wiped the knife on his T-shirt. The only seeming motive for Simon’s death was the colour of his skin.

GEORGE NAPIER. 36. 10 November 2000. New Cross, South London.

During his trial for the cruel beating of an elderly woman during a violent burglary, black criminal Duaine Daniels asked for 950 previous offences to be taken into consideration.

That trial saw him go down for 10 years. Barely out of prison for the above offence, Daniels developed a £300 per day crack cocaine habit. In the year 2000 he became a full-time mugger and armed robber.

And thus we find him at the Paradise Bar, New Cross, London where, in November 2000, doorman George Napier refused him entry. Daniels immediately stabbed the father of three through the heart, a crime for which he received 7 life sentences and a judge’s finding that he will forever present a serious threat to public safety.

WADE HEWITT. 26. 04 November 2000. Barking, East London.

He didn’t know his killers and he wasn’t robbed. His only ‘offence’ seems to have been that he was White, alone and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

For Wade Hewitt boarding and sitting upstairs on a No. 5 late-night bus in Barking was no big deal. For the two uncaught youths who attacked him, however, he was to become the unwitting target of a racial crime which ended a young White man’s life. Stabbed in the stomach, Wade Hewitt was rushed to King George’s Hospital but died there just 48 hours later.

As in many such scenarios – a lone White victim and non-White attackers – Press and media reportage was minimal. As with many such killings Wade Hewitt’s death failed to result in an expected public inquiry. Instead, the Blairite – oppressed Police and legal system collaborated in a deafening silence.

LIAM GALL. 18. 26 SEPTEMBER 2000. Redditch Town Centre.

Judges, too, work in mysterious ways. One Redditch judge, for example, performed his wonders in such a way, recommending that an unrepentant murderer serve only 6 or 7 years for an open air knife attack in Redditch town centre, that the White victim’s family were outraged at the prospect of such a short sentence.

Caught up in a town centre argument over stolen computer equipment, Redditch teenager Liam Gall was with two acquaintances when the latter were challenged by knife-carrying small time crook Omar Mohammed. In the fracas which followed Liam was stabbed to death.
Two years later, Omar Mohammed’s trial unveiled a string of earlier offences. These included a caution for drug-related offences , the breaching of Court Orders, obstructing a Police officer and burglary.

Describing Liam’s killing as ‘premeditated murder’ Liam’s father thundered that his son’s killer should rot in jail for ‘at least 15 years’.

WINIFRED SILLS. 79. 01 MAY 2000. Manor Park, East London.

In mid – April 2000 79-year-old Winifred Sills was mugged while returning to her home from a shopping trip.

A spinster who had never married after her wartime sweetheart died at Dunkirk in 1940, Winifred was moving slowly, with a walking frame. She was targeted by a 6-feet tall, 15-year-old Asian attacker – who later boasted about the robbery and who served only a short sentence for manslaughter -who grabbed her handbag. The bag had only a small handful of coins.

During the attack Winifred fell against a car and banged her head. That evening she lapsed into a coma from which she never emerged. On 01 May 2000 she suffered a massive brain haemorrhage and died at Newham General Hospital.

TIM BAXTER. 25 June 1999. Hungerford Bridge, Central London.

Countless corpses have been hauled out of the River Thames. Many are those of suicide victims while others are of drunks and those who have fallen into or been pushed into the water. Many bodies have been immersed in the Thames’ currents for long periods.

When the River Police fished Tim Baxter’s body out of the river it had been in the water for less than 24 hours. Unlike some of the above individuals Tim had not committed suicide, fallen into the river while drunk or been killed and dumped there. He was mugged, by a black gang while walking home, beaten senseless and shoved into the river while still alive.

is killers walked off, laughing, knowing that Tim could drown. Cameras later recorded Tim’s killers, who included a female, kissing, laughing and singing Jamaican rap songs. The woman, Toni Blackson, Cameron Cyrus and Sonni Read were later convicted, with three accomplices, of Tim’s murder.

LEE DAY(22), SANDRA DAY (50), KATHLEEN MADDISON (76), RHIANNON DAY(3) AND REECE DAY (3), YVONNE CULVERHOUSE (2)March 1999. Chingford, London.

It reads like a review of a American B-movie but the murder of 4 generations of the Day family was no fictional drama. Convinced that Lee Day was waging a vendetta against him, and conspiring to prevent him becoming a famous D.J. and male model, black homosexual Richard Fielding was reputedly obsessed with preventing Day carrying out this imaginary threat. Fielding waited until Lee Day, several other members of the Day family and 76-year-old Kathleen Maddison were asleep then poured petrol through the letter box of the family home.

For starting the blaze which claimed the lives of 6 sleeping blaze victims Fielding was imprisoned for manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Are you shocked and angered enough by the Voices of the Fallen listings to want to help us in highlighting the State’s silence Black on White racial killings?

We welcome additional information about such deaths (but, please, no car crashes or hit and run incidents – we only include slayings which fit the same criteria as was used in the IRR Report of August 2006 (see Introduction) - and offers of help from volunteers across the UK who would be willing to help us to collate information for these listings.

We hope to use all such information in a future campaign which will promote this list and which will ask necessary and embarrassing questions of the Home Office, the Police and the Press and Media. Alternatively please feel free to donate whatever you can afford to the BNP General Fund (see main website for details: www.bnp.org.uk).
