Detectives launched a murder investigation after Sean Small, 84, was found outside the property in Newcastle in County Down, Northern Ireland, late on Sunday night.

An elderly man who had recently been released from prison after serving a sentence for sexual offences was found dead outside his home after a "brutal and sustained" attack, police have said.

Detectives launched a murder investigation after Sean Small, 84, was found outside the property in Newcastle in County Down, Northern Ireland, late on Sunday night.

His house and another property have been sealed off by police carrying out forensic examinations.

The victim had last been seen alive on 19 August, Detective Chief Inspector Kerrie Foreman said.

She said police received a report around 1.30pm on Sunday 24 August that a man in his 80s had been found outside a property in Newcastle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

"This was a brutal and sustained attack and while our investigation is at a very early stage, detectives are working at pace to determine the circumstances around this murder," she said.

Ms Foreman said she would not comment on how Mr Small died or whether there was more than one person involved in the attack.

She said a post-mortem examination is ongoing.

Thanks for your comment!
If you wonder, the people there make sharp between those in Northern Ireland, who are English by country and Ullish by heritage, and those in the country of Ireland who are not.

Vigilante justice is necessary when the government justice either fails or allies with the criminals, both conditions prevailing in Britain.

The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon
The poem “The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon” is attributed to Rudyard Kipling, who lived from 1865 to 1936.
The poem’s text describes a people, referred to as the Saxon, whose deep-seated hatred developed slowly and deliberately, not from inherent nature but as a response to accumulated grievances.
It emphasizes their composure and patience, noting they were “icy — willing to wait” until every grievance was proven, with no outward signs of their brewing anger.
The poem states this hatred was not incited by public preaching or state doctrine, nor did it arise suddenly; instead, it is portrayed as a long-term consequence that will endure for generations.
The final stanza suggests that the date when the Saxon began to hate will become a significant marker in time.

It is important to note that the poem’s title and content have been appropriated and modified by certain white nationalist and neo-Nazi websites, where the word “English” was replaced with “Saxon” and the title changed to “The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon”.
This alteration is believed to be intended to evoke a sense of racial lineage and a perceived need to preserve a “white race” through selective reproduction, linking the poem to ideologies of racial purity and supremacy.
The original poem, however, is distinct from these modern, politicized interpretations.

The ORIGINAL From the Kipling Society:

The Beginnings

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.
