Fundraiser set up for family of man stabbed to death in Tesco car park

A FUNDRAISING page has been set up for a newly married supermarket assistant manager who was stabbed to death in a knife attack in Slough last Wednesday (8).

Nadeem Uddin Hameed Mohammed was stabbed in the chest in the underground car park of the Slough supermarket. The 24-year-old got married just 10 months ago and his wife is pregnant with their first child.


Friends and family hope to raise £30,000 for Mohammed's wife Aafsha and their unborn child.

A statement on the fundraising page said: "Words are not enough to express the sorrow and grief his wife is going through and our heart pours out for his wife who has all been left alone in this world.

"I know no financial assistance can help the family to recoup the loss but the funds raised will certainly help the family and secure the children's future."

Aqib Pervaiz, aged 26, of Rochford Gardens, Slough, has been charged with murder in connection with Mohammed's death.

Pervaiz is a Pakistani national who held a grudge against Mohammed after losing his job two weeks ago.

Mohammed worked as a manager with a departmental store chain Poundland, where Aqib also worked. The accused was sacked because of his poor performance, and he blamed Mohammed for it.

Pervaiz is expected to enter a plea at a hearing on July 8, with a provisional trial date set for October 2.

Worcester City Council votes against far-right extremism amid rising hate crime

Highlights

  • Motion passed with only Reform UK councillor abstaining amid chamber outcry.
  • Councillors report Nazi graffiti, racial abuse of healthcare workers, and intimidation of Asian residents.
  • Former Tory councillor warns Hope Not Hate has become "political attack dog".
Worcester City Council has voted to support a national anti-fascism campaign following reports of escalating hate crimes and racist incidents across the city.
Councillors overwhelmingly backed a motion endorsing Hope Not Hate, an organisation opposing far-right extremism, during a full council meeting this week.

The motion, proposed by councillor Ed Kimberley, called on the council to reaffirm a "zero-tolerance approach to all forms of hate crime and discrimination". Only Reform UK's Alan Amos abstained, prompting shouts of "shame" from fellow councillors.

However, former Conservative councillor Francis Lankester, speaking as a member of the public, raised concerns about the organisation. "Hope Not Hate is not the organisation it used to be," he warned. "It has developed an obsession with Brexit, Reform and Farage and has become a political attack dog."
