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

A man with Hitler’s signature on his arm was found guilty of attempted murder after stabbing a refugee in the chest and hand.

Callum Ulysses Parslow, 31, attacked the man at the Pear Tree Inn near Worcester in a “protest” against small boat crossings.

Parslow admitted inflicting the wound using a £770 knife bought online and said he went to stab “one of the Channel migrants” because he was “angry and frustrated”.

As police approached, he attempted to publish a “terrorist manifesto” and claimed he was “doing my duty to Britain” by trying to “destroy” his victim.

Nahom Hagos, from Eritrea in East Africa, was eating in the hotel conservatory when he was attacked.

The 25-year-old said his survival was a “miracle”.

After trying to kill Mr Hagos, Parslow ran towards a canal and was seen to have blood on his hands.

The court heard that when approached by police he tried to post the manifesto on X, tagging Tommy Robinson and politicians including Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman and Keir Starmer.

However, it could not be sent because it copied too many people.

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

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

Police also found a swastika armband, a Nazi-era medallion and copies of Hitler’s book Mein Kampf.

Parslow admitted unrelated charges, including a sexual offence, during a three-week trial at Leicester Crown Court.

The jury deliberated for just over four hours today before finding him guilty of attempted murder; He will be sentenced on January 17.

The court had previously heard that Mr Hagos, who was living 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 based on his ethnicity”.
