Police misconduct in UK fatal vigilante attack on Bijan Ebrahimi

A British police officer and a community support officer have been convicted of misconduct in connection with the murder of a disabled man in a vigilante attack.

Bijan Ebrahimi, 44, was beaten to death and his body set on fire by neighbour Lee James — who wrongly believed he was a paedophile — in Bristol on July 14, 2013.

James, of Brislington, was later jailed for life for the murder. Stephen Norley, who lived next door, was jailed for four years for assisting an offender.
