A British neo-Nazi was jailed for life on Friday for attempted murder after stabbing an asylum seeker in an attack described as “terrorist” by the judge.

In April 2024 Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, stabbed Nahom Hagos, 25, who is from East Africa and had sought asylum in Britain, in the chest and arm in a Worcester hotel. Earlier he had bought a knife online for £770 (about €940).

Back then, she had excused herself by saying she was one “form of protest” on the phenomenon of illegal crossings of the English Channel by migrants. Although he denied the charges, he was found guilty of attempted murder last October.

Judge Ian Dove, in announcing the sentence today, said Parslow, who has tattooed his signature Adolf Hitler on his arm, followed his “far-right, neo-Nazi ideology.” “You committed a brutal attack on a complete stranger, Nachom Hagos, who suffered catastrophic injuries. This is undoubtedly a terrorist attack,” added the judge.

Parslow will be eligible for parole after serving 22 years and eight months in prison. In his plea he claimed he attacked Hague because he was “angry” at migrants arriving in Britain from the English Channel. Before he was arrested he unsuccessfully tried to send a message to the X platform stating that “he has just done his duty against England”, “exterminating” the victim.

In his home police found a second knife, an axe, a metal baseball bat, a swastika bracelet and copies of the book “My Race” of Hitler.

Parslow was also convicted of a sexual harassment case, unrelated to the Hagos attack, for sending “offensive” messages to a woman.
