video. Up Next. A Neo-Nazi who penned his own ‘terrorist manifesto’ before going to a hotel and trying to stab an asylum seeker to death has been jailed for life.
Callum Parslow, 32, claimed he made the four-and-a-half-mile journey on April 2 to knife ‘one of the Channel migrants’ because he was ‘angry and frustrated’ at small boat crossings. He was found guilty of attempted murder at Leicester Crown Court for attacking Nahom Hagos at the Pear Tree Inn at Hindlip, Worcestershire, with a ‘specialist’ blade he bought for £770 online.
Mr Justice Dove told ordered Parslow – who has a tattoo of Adolf Hitler’s signature – he must serve a minimum term of 22 years and eight months. The judge said Parslow was ‘motivated by your adoption of a far-right neo-Nazi mindset which fuelled your warped, violent and racist views’.
‘This was undoubtedly a terrorist attack,’ he added. Parslow’s trial heard he tried to tweet his manifesto document, tagging in Tommy Robinson and prominent politicians including Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman, but the message failed to send because he had copied in too many recipients.
