-Leslie Ashton, twice threatened widower with hammer during hour-long ordeal

-Mohammed Nawaz jailed indeterminately after his violent robbery led 'led to death' of pensioner

A ‘good Samaritan’ Home Guard veteran died after being burgled five times in nine weeks.

Following the fourth break-in, Leslie Ashton, 93, developed fatal pneumonia after a callous thug threatened him with a hammer and terrorised him for an hour.

During his final stay in hospital, the widower was burgled again by the same man, Mohammed Nawaz, whom a judge said had caused his ‘eventual deterioration and death’.

Mr Ashton’s terraced home in Sparkhill, Birmingham, where he had lived for most of his life, was targeted three other times by different offenders. The victim’s devastated niece, Vivian Allen, said: ‘He would still be alive today had it not been for the burglaries.

‘He had been living for 67 years at the property and he had never had any problems.

‘He was determined to stay there because it was his home and he had his pets.’

Judge William Davis QC, sitting at Birmingham Crown Court, yesterday gave Nawaz, 42, an indeterminate sentence for public protection and ordered that he remain behind bars for a minimum of six years.

The judge told Nawaz: ‘These were wicked offences. It is not often I deal with wicked men but you are one of them. ‘You threatened him [Mr Ashton] with a hammer, manhandled him around his own home and stole his property as he watched.

The knuckledraggers are convinced they can roam and rampage in UK at will, with impunity.

For God’s sake, turn back the tide, UK!!!

It is not often I deal with wicked men but you are one of them.

Maybe this line of thinking is the problem - being a judge, he by nature deals with wicked men (the ones who are guilty).

Six years?

This guy deserves the death penalty (if they have it in England).

Moral of the story (for Europe), “Do not feed stray dogs that bite and want to kill you.”

Well THANK GOD HE DIDN”T HAVE A GUN!!! He could have gotten hurt. Or worse still, hurt a poor innocent victim who was only robbing him because the robber’s ancestors five generations back were discriminated against. UK gun control once again proves its worth.

They need to remember this in the UK:

“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

And apply it to the mongrel immigrants that want to destroy them.

When will we learn? There is but one thing to do with Muslims. Send them back to the crapholes they came from and spend whatever it takes to keep them there.

let them kill each other, since killing is what they enjoy so much.
