A Nazi-obsessed knifeman who stabbed an asylum seeker in the chest at a hotel has been found guilty of attempted murder.

Leicester Crown Court heard how Callum Parslow stabbed Nahom Hagos in the chest and hand at the Pear Tree Inn at Hindlip, Worcestershire.

The 32-year-old, who admitted wounding, told jurors he made a four-and-a-half-mile journey to the rural hotel on April 2 to stab "one of the Channel migrants" because he was "angry and frustrated" at small boat crossings.

They also heard how Parslow, who has Adolf Hitler's signature tattooed on his left forearm, tried to send a post to X before his arrest claiming he "just did my duty to England" by trying to "exterminate" his victim.

Prosecutor Tom Storey KC said a police search of Parslow's flat in Bromyard Terrace, Worcester, led to the recovery of a second knife in a sheath, an axe, a metal baseball bat, a red armband bearing a swastika, a Nazi-era medallion and copies of Mein Kampf.

Parslow has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced by Mr Justice Dove at Woolwich Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
