One out of every five killers is an immigrant

Up to a fifth of killers in England and Wales are foreign, police figures suggest. Out of 371 individuals accused or convicted of murder or manslaughter last year, 79 were from abroad - more than 21 per cent.

Foreign immigrants make up only around a tenth of the UK population, meaning they are statistically twice as likely as native Britons to be charged with or found guilty of an illegal killing.

In London, almost 40 per cent of those in such cases in the past year were from overseas, or of unknown origin.

Opposition critics said the findings reflected the Government's failure to deport foreign criminals, and the ease with which offenders from abroad can slip through border controls.

Eastern Europeans and Asians, especially from Pakistan and Bangladesh, are the usual culprits around my area... it hurts the UK to have a visa-free immigration policy for the Eurothrash.

Well on the bright side this means that 80% of the killers are local lads that have been raised in the homeland...

like America, Great Britian’s ruling party has decided, themselves,
that the native people in their country must die, by lack of health care
and Islamic and other invaders.

I’d have to see the stats broken down by sex and age for native Britons vs immigrants before making a conclusion.
