Are Most Killings In The UK Now Committed By Foreigners?

First topic message reminder :

3rd February 2014

Unfortunately, but quite rightly, a thread about this subject had to be locked last week. Time has moved on but more evidence has emerged:

3rd Feb:

A Kosovan refugee accused of murdering his wife lied about witnessing Serbian atrocities to claim asylum and benefits in the UK, a court heard today (MON). Muhamet Hoti, 43, stabbed 42 year-old mother-of-three Ganimete Hoti to death at their home in north London after repeatedly accusing her of having affairs with other men. He now claims his responsibility for the killing is diminished because of post traumatic stress disorder as a result of the war. But prosecutor Zoe Johnson said Hoti had lied about his past and left Kosovo before fighting reached his village. - See more at: http://www.courtnewsuk.co.uk/newsgallery/#sthash.DVnuNxFO.dpuf

Jamel Green, 20, Curtis Quashie, 22, and Bosun Sode, 21, targeted Nathan Allen, 21, after hearing of the trivial incident. Mr Allen, who may not even have been riding the bike in question, was blasted in the back in New Cross, southeast London, on 3 May 2010. As he lay dying he managed to call an ambulance and gasped: 'Been shot - in my lung - I can't breathe. Quick - on Ludwick Mews - I'm in a back garden. Ludwick Mews, New Cross.'

An Old Bailey judge has blamed easily accessible online pornography for the horrific murder of a pensioner by her son-in-law.

Judge Nicholas Browne QC jailed Yusuf for a minimum of 25 years and said his interest in extreme online pornography was responsible. ‘As long ago as 2005, your wife caught you watching pornography,' the judge said. ‘Since that date, I am convinced you became seriously interested in, if not obsessed, by watching vile and disgusting images of violent and sadistic sex.

An asylum seeker told a psychiatrist he was going to kill a day before he strangled a rough sleeper at Marble Arch, an inquest heard. Ghodratollah Barani, 26, throttled Mark Morrison, 46, from Stirling, Scotland, with a piece of tent fabric in June 2012, Westminster Coroner's Court heard. He had previously claimed he was the king of Afghanistan and demanded to be let into Buckingham Palace but was thought to be faking symptoms to stay in the country. Barani had recently had his application for asylum rejected, and was in the process of appealing the decision at the time of the killing. At an inquest into Mr Morrison's death, two psychiatrists said they thought Barani's claims that voices in his head were telling him to kill someone might have been a ruse to get asylum.

9th July

A knife-wielding Somali man who stabbed a rival in a fatal row over a girl being touched on the arm is facing jail today (Weds). Abdualaziz Osman, 22, left Mohammed Ibrahim in a critical condition in hospital with stab wounds after the violent brawl at a shisha cafe in North Acton, east London. Violence broke out when Mr Ibrahim's cousin Mohammed Hussein put his hand on the girl at the Lavinia Cafe, a venue popular with young Somalis. The cousins were badly injured in the ensuing melee, and their uncle, Ishmail Essa, 33, was fatally stabbed in the neck.
