Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, from Worcester, stabbed a 25-year-old Eritrean asylum seeker twice in the chest during the attack at a country hotel called the Pear Tree Inn in Hindlip on April 2.
The Pear Tree Inn had been used to house immigrants for three years, but it was undergoing repairs and its victim, a former resident, was there by chance to visit the manager and borrow a bicycle.
Parslow, who had a tattoo of Hitler’s signature on his forearm, had written a manifesto that he planned to send to the media and to its recipients, including far-right activist Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party.
He used the social media site
Parslow wrote a three-page document in which he declared: “I have just done my duty to England” and added: “They will call me a terrorist, they will call me an extremist: I am neither.” I am but a gardener who tends the great garden of England.
Parslow claimed he had “eliminated the weeds” and added: “I exterminated the harmful and invasive species; I allowed England’s ecosystem to flourish a little more.”
In the document, Parslow attacked the “evil enemies of nature and of England: the Jews, the Marxists and the globalists”, whom he accused of being responsible for “demonizing Christianity, whites and all European culture.”
The computer programmer was arrested on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, with his phone in his hand and his hands covered in blood, about to post the far-right manifesto on social media platform X.
He claimed that they had been “actively enabling Muslims and Africans to disproportionately gang-rape, torture and traumatize white women and children.”
On several occasions, Parslow referred to the country as being ruled by “Jewish puppets” who had made England “unrecognizable” and proclaimed: “Do not let the Great N**erfication of England go unpunished.”
“There are literally millions of young English people who today envy me for my actions,” he wrote, before issuing a “call to arms” to prevent England from becoming a “province of Global Mordor,” in reference to The Lord of the Dead. Rings. .
‘Emerge! Launch yourself towards glory!! Parslow concluded.
At the end of the document was a list of the X identifiers of the people he intended to tag when he posted the document online.
Names included far-right activists Tommy Robinson, Paul Golding, Nick Griffin and actor Laurence Fox, along with politicians Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Donald Trump, Suella Braverman, Lee Anderson, Liz Truss, Michael Gove, David Cameron , Kier Starmer, Rishi. Sunak and Boris Johnson.
Among the searches she had carried out online was one for Jo Cox, the MP who died in a far-right terrorist attack outside her constituency office in West Yorkshire in 2016.
Parslow had also searched for the ‘Finsbury Park attack’ in which Darren Osborne plowed into worshipers outside a mosque in north London in 2017, killing one, and Brenton Tarrant, who killed 52 people in an attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.
He had also searched for “diagram of human arteries,” “worst places to get stabbed,” “neck wounds are always lethal” and “14 words,” a reference to a far-right slogan.
On his phone, he had searched for “life sentence in England and Wales”, “murder” and “lying in wait”.
He had also seen a website or link to a map that purported to show the location of all the hotels in England that were used to house asylum seekers.
In from The Lord of the Rings.

In a tweet, he stated that “Brenton Tarrant is a hero,” who rids “Middle-earth of invading orc armies.”
In another, he wrote: “Our Jewish puppet overlords will continue to import hundreds of millions of violent ni**ers in this century alone,” described in court as an example of the so-called “great replacement” conspiracy theory.
Some of his tweets advocated the use of extreme violence against immigrants, including one in which he stated: “England is screwed unless we do something now while we still have the numbers.”
Tom Storey KC, prosecuting, told the jury at Leicester Crown Court: “Parslow’s attack was ‘carefully planned and driven by a particular ideology, specifically a far-right ideology, which had led him to identify and attack his victim based on their ethnicity.’
Parslow headed to the cafe where he approached his victim and asked where he was from before going to the bathroom and emerging with a knife.
The folding weapon he used had cost $1,000 from a US specialist knife manufacturer, which he had ordered online and delivered via UPS, the court heard.
After stabbing his victim twice, he chased him into the car park with the knife in his hand before Nahom Hagos managed to return to the reception area and close the door.
Hagos was rushed to hospital in a van by workers renovating the hotel, who saw Parslow on a nearby towpath and called the police.
Hagos was found to have an 8cm wound to the left chest area, but the knife had not penetrated any of his vital organs.
“You might think the fact that he didn’t do it is purely a matter of luck,” Mr Storey told the jury.
He had to undergo surgery under general anesthesia where the knife had cut the tendons in his hand.
Mr Storey told the court: “This was a deliberate attack and was carried out with the intention, very simply, of killing Mr Hagos.”
Parslow pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm but denied attempted murder.
He claimed he was not racist and wanted to be arrested because he was being evicted from his apartment after losing his job.
When West Mercia police searched Parslow’s flat in connection with the previous offense on December 13 last year, they confiscated his phone, laptop, a swastika locket and ring and four far-right texts, including two copies of Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
It is understood Parslow was subsequently referred to West Midlands Counter Terrorism Police, who said they had reacted “based on risk and prioritisation, and the threat presented”.
Parslow had previously been sentenced to 30 months in February 2018 for seven offenses of stalking and three offenses of sending an offensive communication.
Detective Chief Superintendent Alison Hurst, head of West Midlands counter-terrorism policing, described Parslow as a “very violent individual” motivated by “hatred and extremism” to commit an “abhorrent crime”.
He said members of the public who took Hagos to hospital “acted really spontaneously and very quickly to save the victim’s life.”
