When a group of teenage Asians – one of whom was only 14 - got into an argument with 67-year-old Alan Sheard one of the youths attacked the elderly white man. Alan fell to the pavement and struck his head on the kerb. One witness, a shopkeeper who is a Councillor’s son, said that Alan Sheard was felled by a single punch. 50-year-old former banker Denis Finnegan, from Putney, was cycling through Souh London’s Richmond park when, on 2nd September, 2004, he was ambushed and several times stabbed in the chest and back with a 12 inch blade knife by mixed race schizophrenic John Barrett. Barrett, 42, also from Putney, is a paranoid schizophrenic with a history of violence. In 2002, for example, in a waiting area in St. George’s Hospital, he went berserk and stabbed three people. The day before he attacked Denis Finnegan, Barrett had been admitted to the Shaftesbury Clinic secure unit of Tooting’s Springfield Hospital. The entrance to Upney Station, Barking, witnessed a January 2006 fracas in which seven black and mixed race youths jostled a friend of Christopher Smith. 17-year old Christopher tried to stop the shoving but was stabbed. Paramedics tried to keep him alive but he was pronounced dead on arrival at Ilford’s King George’s Hospital, killed a single abdominal wound. A brilliant GCSE student, Kally Gilligan was blonde, beautiful and just 15 when her black, 18-year-old boyfriend, Joshua Thompson, shot her (in the head and neck) then killed himself with a sawn-off shotgun. The couple had met at Salford’s Albion High School. They had been together for some two years when, two weeks before she died, Kally ended the relationship. Thompson could not accept her rejection and was heard, during an early hours row before the shooting, telling her that if he could not have her no-one else would. Kriss was kidnapped from near his home in Pollokshields by an Asian gang, beaten and stabbed in their car, held and tortured overnight, mutilated and stabbed thirteen times. Despite these horrific injuries, the 15-year-old schoolboy was still alive when he was covered in petrol and set on fire. Even then he managed to crawl to a muddy puddle and roll in it to try to put out the flames The gang had gone out with the specific intention of finding, mutilating and killing a “white boy”.Kate Beagley, 32, was killed in a frenzied attack as she sat on a park bench at a beauty spot overlooking the river Thames. Karl Taylor, 27, of Covent Garden, central London, a fitness trainer, was jailed for life in March 2008 for murdering her on their “first date” in May 2007. Her naked body was found four days later with 31 stab wounds to the face and neck. After his arrest, Taylor led police to Beagley's body dumped in nettles in Oxhey Wood, north of London. He had driven her there in the boot of her grey VW Golf car, which Taylor told police he had intended to steal when he met her. The trial heard Taylor had gone on the date armed with a knife, which he placed up his sleeve as he sat with Beagley in the Roebuck pub in Richmond Hill, south-west London. Peter Clarke QC, prosecuting, said Taylor told police he stabbed Beagley during an argument after telling her: "All I want is your car." He told police: "She pushed me away. She was grabbing me and I stabbed her in the throat. I constantly and consistently cut her in the neck because she was going for my face." Taylor removed her clothes and washed her body with mineral water before dumping it, the court heard. He later showed off the car to friends and family, and sold Beagley's mobile phone to a friend. The murder of computer data technician Chris Yates was controversial enough – a gang of young Asian men taunting and jeering at a lone white man in the early hours of a Sunday morning, three of them kicking and stamping on his head so violently, ‘like a football’, that they broke every one of his facial bones and fatally injured him – but the case earned a certain notoriety when, in spite of evidence to the contrary, the Judge declared that there was no racial element. That decision meant that instead of a 30 year sentence Chris’s killers got off with the lesser term of 15 years. The case caused uproar and seemed to make a mockery of traditional British justice. All the more so because Sajid Zulfiqar, known as ‘Fatty’, had yelled in Urdu: ‘We have killed the white man. That will teach an Englishman not to interfere in Paki business.’ South African nationals Gabriel Bhengu, 26, and Jabu Mbowane, 25, of Wolverhampton, were charged with the murder of Andrew Owen, 42, from Sedgley, West Midlands.He was the victim of a robbery and murder committed by the two while walking home from his local public house. A 21-year-old woman, Kashia Allen, also of Wolverhampton, was also charged with conspiracy to rob.

The Forgotten Victims

Simon Bampton, 21 August 19, 2008

By Simon Bennett ⋅ February 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Construction worker Simon Bampton, 21, was murdered by Muslim nightclub bouncer Mohammed Waqar, 22 in an unprovoked attack in Bristol on 19 August 2008.

Simon, from Southampton, was walking back to his hotel in Bristol when Waqar, from Birmingham, killed him with a single punch to the head.

In his defence Waqar claimed that Simon had been “racially abusive” towards him, although there was no evidence at all to support this claim.

As a result, the court gave Waqar a ludicrous 18-month sentence. Outside Bristol Crown Court, Simon’s partner, Natasha Matthews, tearfully branded Mr Justice Jack’s sentence “a joke”.

Waqar had finished his bouncer’s shift and was driving along Marsh Street when he saw the men in the road. An altercation of some sort took place, and Waqar got out of his car, and hit the left side of Simon’s face. Waqar returned to the car and drove back to Birmingham.

A pathologist’s report concluded the artery in Simon’s neck was torn as a result of the quick snap of his head when he was struck by Waqar.

Defending, Jonathan Gosling said his client took “full responsibility” for Simon’s death. He said: “It’s an incident which has the label of road rage. The defendant must pay the price today for leaving the car.”
