The crimes illustrate what average Britons face as their once-great nation slowly but surely disintegrates.
"This is the dog we want to hit, to strike, to kill."
On July 12 last year, four Muslims attacked 28-year-old Gary Smith, the head of religious education at a girl's school. The quartet of Muslims were angry that Smith was teaching religion to Muslim girls at the school.
Police had bugged the car of one defendant on an unrelated matter, the Daily Mail reported in its story about their trial, and picked up the conversation in which the defendants admitted the crime. Cops arrested the Muslim thugs, London's Telegraph reported, after the recordings were transcribed.
"This is the dog we want to hit, to strike, to kill," one of them said. As well, he averred, “He’s mocking Islam and he’s putting doubts in people’s minds. How can somebody take a job to teach Islam when they’re not even a Muslim?”
The four defendants beat Smith to a pulp, with one admitting exactly what he did: "'I turned and hit him on his face with the rod and he went flying and fell on his stomach."
The thugs praised "Allah," the Telegraph reported, as they fled the scene of the beating.
According to the Mail, Smith "was left with facial scarring, both long and short-term memory loss, and now has no sense of smell."
He became depressed after his face was slashed and he suffered a brain haemorrhage, fractured skull and broken jaw following the attack.
The prosecutor rightly explained what went on:
It was also a cowardly attack, carried out by a group of at least four men, using weapons, on the single victim who would have had limited opportunity to defend himself.
He was targeted as the victim of this attack quite simply because of his position as head of religious studies at the school.
The gang ambushed Smith after two aborted attempts on July 8 and July 9 when the teacher took a different route to school than usual.
Hitman to Prison
In the second case, a jury sent a teenage hit man to prison for life. A closed-circuit television camera caught the boy calmly pumping rounds from a shotgun into the chest of 26-year-old Gulistan Subasi.
As the Daily Mail reported, "CCTV footage showed the teenager calmly walking up to the flat and knocking on the door as he pulled the shotgun from his rucksack and rested it on a gate."
The flash of the gun was caught on film as he pulled the trigger before fleeing in a cab.
Miss Subasi’s mother, Dondu, 44, heard her daughter scream "Mama" and found her lying with a tennis-ball sized hole in her chest. She died shortly afterwards in hospital.
Said one detective, the BBC reported, "When we saw the CCTV we all thought it was a professional hitman. There was no hesitation and he shows no nerves. It did not look like a 15-year-old boy."
As well, BBC reported, Subasi had "lived in Turkey but had returned to London to see her son, who was living with relatives of her estranged husband."
Ms Subasi was estranged from Serdar Ozbek — the father of her son. She was due to get married in Turkey that summer, and had mentioned regaining custody of her son.
This was said in court to have been the motive for her killing.
The Daily Mail reported that Ozbek ordered the murder of his wife because he "feared she would take their son out of the country because she was about to marry someone else."
The court was told that he arranged the killing in telephone calls to London from Turkey. However, Ozbek was cleared of murder after the court heard he was in Turkey when his former wife was shot dead.
The BBC also reported that Ozbek was cleared of the crime.
The news stories thus do not explain why Subasi was murdered except to say the boy was paid 200 pounds after being promised 2,000, and that he likely wanted to impress older gang members.
The triggerman was a member of an outfit known as the Kensal Green Boys. His cousin and half brother are also serving prison terms for murder.
