White supremacist sent to jail for asylum terror attack

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

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

At Woolwich Crown Court, Parslow was given a minimum sentence of 22 years and eight months for attempted murder.

During his trial Parslow told the jury that he had gone to the hotel to stab “one of the Channel migrants” because he was “angry and frustrated”.

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

Sentencing Parslow, Mr Justice Dove said his attack on Mr Hagos was “motivated by his embrace of the far right neo-Nazi mentality, which promoted your perverted, violent and racist views.”
