Nazi-obsessed Callum Parslow guilty of attempted murder after stabbing asylum seeker at Worcestershire hotel

A knifeman with Hitler’s signature tattooed on his arm has been found guilty of attempted murder after stabbing an asylum seeker in the chest and hand.

Callum Ulysses Parslow, 31, attacked the man at a Worcestershire hotel on April 2 as a “protest” against small boat crossings.

Nazi-obsessed Parslow admitted he was injured – using a £770 knife bought online – and said he went to stab “one of the Channel migrants” because he was “angry and frustrated”.

He attempted to publish a “terrorist manifesto” on social media as police approached and claimed he was “only doing his duty to England” by trying to “exterminate” his victim.

Nahom Hagos, from Eritrea in East Africa, was eating a tin at the Pear Tree Inn in Hindlip, near Worcester, when he was attacked.

The 25-year-old victim said it was a “miracle” he survived.

After trying to kill Mr Hagos, Parslow ran towards a canal and was spotted with what appeared to be blood on his hands, Leicester Crown Court heard.

The court was told he tried to post the manifesto on X as police moved in, tagging Tommy Robinson and politicians including Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman and Sir Keir Starmer.

However, it failed to send because it copied too many people.

Others on his list included Laurence Fox, Lee Anderson, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and various news organizations.

Blood containing a DNA profile matching that of Mr Hagos was found on the blade of the knife Parslow abandoned.

The court heard that an axe, a metal baseball bat and a second knife were found at his bed in Bromyard Terrace in Worcester.

Police also discovered a swastika tape, a Nazi-era locket and copies of Hitler’s book Mein Kampf.

Parslow pleaded guilty to unrelated charges, including a sex offense, during a three-week trial.

The jury deliberated for just over four hours on Friday before finding him guilty of attempted murder – he will be sentenced on January 17.

The court previously heard Mr Hagos, who was staying at the hotel, was visiting a friend and was stabbed after Parslow asked him for directions to the toilet.

Prosecutor Tom Storey KC said it was “carefully planned” and “driven by a particular ideology, particularly a far-right ideology, which led him to identify and target his victim on the basis of his ethnicity”.
