Moment man who stabbed asylum seeker is arrested

A man who stabbed an asylum seeker at a hotel in a "protest" against small boat crossings has been found guilty of attempted murder.

Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, stabbed 25-year-old Nahom Hagos in the chest and hand at the Pear Tree Inn at Hindlip in Worcestershire, Leicester Crown Court was told.

During the trial, Parslow, who denied attempted murder but admitted wounding, said he had made the four-and-a-half-mile journey to the hotel on 2 April to stab "one of the Channel migrants" because he was "angry and frustrated".

The trial was told Parslow, who has an Adolf Hitler's signature tattooed on his left forearm, tried to send a post to X before his arrest which claimed he "just did my duty to England" by trying to "exterminate" his victim.

He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
