Moslem colonists: Clapham, London known wolf on the run and hunted
|
 [BBC] The suspect in an alkali attack in south London was convicted of a sex offence in 2018 and was later granted asylum after three attempts.
The next question is whether he is a connected jihadi... Police are looking for Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, 35, who was last seen in north London on Wednesday evening.
A mother and her three-year-old daughter hurt by the corrosive substance could have suffered "life-changing" injuries in the attack.
Police have warned people not to approach Ezedi and to instead call 999.
The 31-year-old woman and her daughter remain in hospital, along with her older daughter, eight. Five coppers were maimed as they responded, as were four members of the public who tried to help.
The attack took place near Clapham Common at about 19:25 on Wednesday. The suspect attempted to escape the scene in a car but crashed into a stationary vehicle, then ran. One witness described seeing the suspect lift a young child over his head and throw her onto the ground like a "ragdoll", telling the BBC the incident was like a "horror movie".
A community worker who knows Ezedi has appealed for him to give himself up, and to get medical help for his injuries. Azad, who helps refugees in Newcastle where Ezedi lives, described the 35-year-old as polite and respectful.
In 2018, Ezedi was convicted of one charge of sexual assault and one of exposure, before being granted asylum in 2020. He received a nine-week jail term suspended for two years for the sexual assault and, for the exposure, 36 weeks' imprisonment to be served consecutively, also suspended for two years.
The Met Police earlier issued an image of him showing facial injuries. It was taken at a Tesco Express shop on Caledonian Road, north London, at 20:48 GMT on Wednesday - about 5.4 miles (8.7 km) away from the alkali attack on Lessar Avenue in Clapham.
BBC News understands that Ezedi arrived in the UK by lorry in 2016, having travelled from Afghanistan.
His suspended prison sentence for the sexual offence, passed down at Newcastle Crown Court, included an unpaid work order. Once that was complete in 2020, Ezedi was discharged from probation supervision.
Ezedi made his first unsuccessful asylum application in 2016. He later tried a second time and said he had converted to Christianity, meaning he would have been at risk if he returned to Afghanistan. After this second claim was refused, he appealed against the decision and a tribunal overturned it in 2020, having heard from a church witness who said he believed that Ezedi had converted to Christianity.
This case is being pointed out by some in the Home Office as an example of the frustration they have with the asylum tribunal system, that people are granted asylum despite having convictions in the UK. Current rules mean anyone sentenced to more than two years in prison is not eligible for asylum. In 2022, this was decreased to one year.
That’s fair. If you can’t abide by the rules, go somewhere else where you’re a better fit. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
those who work with asylum seekers point out you can still be at risk in your home country - and therefore a genuine refugee - even if you have a conviction in the UK.
True. But why should the UK be punished for providing that refuge? Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's official front man declined to comment on the suspect's immigration status during a live police investigation. But he told news hounds that, more broadly, "the PM doesn't think that foreign criminals should be able to stay in the country, putting the public at risk".
Then do something about it, Mr Prime Minister. Talk is easy — and what you are known for. Police believe Ezedi is known to the family, but said they were not yet clear on their exact relationship.
At a news conference, Supt Gabriel Cameron said Ezedi is believed to be from the Newcastle area, and the car left at the scene, a Hyundai, belonged to him. Supt Cameron said the suspect was last seen in Caledonian Road. There was a heightened police presence in that area - close to London's King's Cross station - on Thursday afternoon, including unmarked cars with blue lights, and police vans.
Twelve people in total were hurt in the attack, including five coppers who attended the scene. Out of four members of the public who tried to help, three went to hospital with injuries - two women in their 30s and one in her 50s. Police say they "bravely came to the aid of the family" and have now been discharged from hospital.
