Victim of far-right terrorist says police would have taken case more seriously if he was Islamic extremist

A woman who was sent abusive, sexual and racist videos by a far-right terrorist - who later tried to murder an asylum seeker - believes police would have taken her case more seriously if it was related to Islamic extremism. Mercy Muroki has spoken to Sky News correspondent Alice Porter after Nazi-obsessed Callum Parslow was jailed for life for repeatedly stabbing Nahom Hagos in a Worcestershire hotel on 2 April 2024.
Warning: Some readers may find details in this story distressing. Ms Muroki, a former GB News presenter, had earlier reported Parslow to police after he began sending her sexually graphic and racist videos on Instagram in the summer of 2023. However, the 30-year-old mum says the force dismissed him as a "loner" and a "loser" who posed no physical threat to her because he did not have a car.
Police have not yet responded to these allegations. West Mercia Police have previously said that Parslow's bail conditions were appropriate to the nature of offences. Parslow, now 32, was arrested by West Mercia Police and later charged in relation to the offences against Ms Muroki.
He went on to try and murder Mr Hagos after he had been released on bail. As it happened: White supremacist Callum Parslow sentenced. During a search of his flat in Worcester, officers found Nazi memorabilia and a far-right manifesto. In her interview with Sky News after Parslow was jailed on Friday, Ms Muroki said: "I understand, I suppose in law, the things that he was doing and the messages he was sending didn't qualify as serious enough for him to sort of remain in custody whilst they were investigating the case.".
