20/01/2025

On 17/01/25 Callum Parslow was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court by Mr Justice Dove to life imprisonment for attempting to murder an asylum seeker in a terrorist-motivated attack.

The defendant was found to have in his possession multiple works reflecting an extreme right wing or neo-Nazi ideology, and to have posted multiple messages on X (Twitter) of an extreme racist nature, expressing a willingness to use extreme violence towards non-white people in this country.

He had armed himself with a specialist hand-made knife and travelled to a hotel outside Worcester that had been used by the Home Office to house asylum-seekers, specifically with the aim of attacking and killing one such resident.

He had prepared a terrorist manifesto document which he was in the process of posting to X at the point he was arrested after his attack.

The Defendant was convicted after a trial heard at Leicester Crown Court in October 2024.

Mr Storey KC was instructed by Emma Harraway of the CPS Counter Terrorism Division.
