Worcester white supremacist jailed for asylum seeker attack

Parslow, of Bromyard Terrace, Worcester, was convicted of attempted murder following a three-week trial at Leicester Crown Court last year.

He also pleaded guilty to an unconnected sexual offence and two charges of sending electronic communications with intent to cause distress and anxiety.

The judge told him his victim suffered “devastating injuries” in “a vicious and unprovoked assault on a complete stranger”.

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

Mr Hagos, who had previously been a resident at the hotel, had returned to borrow a bicycle when the attack took place.

Parslow stabbed Mr Hagos in the chest and hand with a “specialist” knife he had bought online for £770, which the judge said had an “especially hard and sharp blade”.
