Racist killings - the price of silence
Danny O’Connor was 23. Recently engaged, he was walking back to his parents’ home in Ipswich with his sister after an evening out when he was picked out for a random anti-white racist attack last year. Dulu Miah and a carload of other white-haters followed the two and screamed ‘white trash’ and ’scum’ at Danny before attacking him. When Danny resisted the gang backed off, but when he and his sister turned away Miah attacked him from behind and punched him to the ground.
Danny was rushed to hospital for surgery on a blood clot to the brain, but died after nine days in a coma. While his family and girfriend kept vigil at his bedside, Miah added to their grief by denying the attack. Only when enough evidence was gathered to raise the possibility of a murder charge did Miah agree to plead guilty to manslaughter. His sentence for killing Danny O’Connor in a brutal, unprovoked, premediated racist attack? An utterly pathetic three years in prison!

The racist killing was explained by the News of the World on 12th June 2005 as being on account of the fact that Danny was wearing an England football shirt, in a story on page 43 run as part of a series ‘Yob UK’. As far as we have been able to find out, no other papers have covered the killing - or the pathetic sentence, at all.
