Bijan Ebrahimi ‘ignored by police’ and killed by vigilantes in Bristol

Three police officers and a community support officer failed to deal with the complaints of a disabled man just 48 hours before he was murdered in a vigilante attack after being mistaken for a paedophile.

The three constables let their dislike of the victim, Bijan Ebrahimi, influence their approach to a “toxic situation” outside his home where a neighbour was threatening to take the law into his own hands.

Lee James, 26, wrongly suspected Mr Ebrahimi was a paedophile and told police he would “do time to protect his children”.
