Worcester white supremacist jailed for asylum seeker attack | Global News Avenue

A white supremacist who stabbed an asylum seeker in a hotel in what a judge said was “undoubtedly a terrorist attack” has been jailed for life.

Callum Parslow, 32, stabbed Nahom Hagos in the chest and hand at the Pear Tree Inn in Smite, near Worcester department.

At Woolwich Crown Court, Parslow was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years and eight months in prison for attempted murder.

Sentencing Parslow, Judge Dove said his attack on Mr Hargos was because he had adopted a “far-right neo-Nazi mentality which fueled your distorted, violent and racist views”.

Parslow, of Bromyard Terrace, Worcester, told the jury during his trial that he went to the hotel and stabbed “a Channel immigrant” because he was “angry and frustrated”.

He was found guilty of attempted murder last year after a three-week trial at Leicester Crown Court.

He also admitted an unrelated sexual offense and two charges of electronic communications intended to cause distress and anxiety.

The judge told him his victim had suffered “devastating injuries” in a “vicious and unprovoked attack on a complete stranger”.

Mr Hagos is a 25-year-old Eritrean national who has been granted leave to remain in the UK until November 2028.

He had previously been a guest at the hotel and had returned to borrow a bicycle when the attack occurred.

Parslow stabbed Hargos in the chest and hand with a “professional” knife he bought online for £770, which the judge described as “exceptionally hard and sharp”.

Judge Dove said a clinical psychologist diagnosed Hagos with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a direct result of the attack.

In a victim impact statement read in court by the prosecution, he said he still felt “excruciating pain” in his hands and had difficulty sleeping.

“I had been living a happy life before this incident,” he said. “It’s a distant memory now.

“I felt lonely and I didn’t feel safe on the streets. My life was completely changed.”

During the trial, the jury heard that Parslow, who has a tattoo of Adolf Hitler’s signature on his arm, tried to publish a “manifesto” on X before his arrest, claiming he was fulfilling his “duty to England” by trying to “annihilate” . His victims.

But the message delivery failed.

In the failed post, Parslow railed against what he called the “evil enemies of nature and England” who he considered to be “Jews, Marxists and globalists” who he said were hostile to Christianity, white people and responsible for the demonization of European culture.

Police searching Parslow’s apartment found a second knife, an axe, a metal baseball bat, a red armband with a swastika, a Nazi-era medal and a copy of Mein Kampf.
