Frederick Lee 25
7 March 1958
Clerkenwell, Central London
Two olive-skinned men followed a payroll clerk into a lift of a sportswear firm and demanded the £4,000 he was carrying. He threw the money at them and they managed to pick up £120 but fired a bullet as they fled hitting Frederick, a maintenance engineer. They escaped by car, which they later dumped. Police officers investigated and found that the killer was a Greek Cypriot named Andreas Costa Afamis who had fled back to Cyprus. The Cypriot Supreme Constitutional Court refused to have him extradited to Britain, much to the disappointment of Scotland Yard officers who had worked hard to track the killer down.

Harry Parker ?
24 March 1955 Folkestone, Kent
Mr Parker was the managing director of a building firm who was found murdered in a small room at the back of his premises. He had 17 deep wounds in his scalp and the upper part of his face and fractures underneath his head, which may have been caused by a hammer. A Jamaican Negro Albert Lumelino was arrested and his fingerprints were found on a hammer. The motive was robbery. Lumelino, a petty thief with a criminal record, was sentenced to hang but because of an error made by the prosecution during the trial the Negro managed to get a reprieve and received a life sentence. This was one of the first recorded murders by a West Indian Negro in Britain against a White person.

Innocent Wendy left home one Saturday afternoon to buy sweets from the local shop and never returned. *** Zalig Lenchitsky aged 42 had spent sometime in a synagogue on that Saturday, which was the Jewish Day of Atonement. One hour later he was seen taking the gentile child into his house. Police arrested the *** and searched the house. Little Wendy's naked body was found in a fruit box covered in old newspapers in the back yard. A bandage was over her face as a gag and her arms tied behind her back. Lenchitsky had a history of mental illness. After killing the child he had returned to the synagogue. He told police that "She kept on crying, so I tore off her clothes and put some of them over her mouth to stop her." He was sentenced to death but the jury recommended mercy. His first appeal was dismissed by a High Court judge but then the Tory Home Secretary recommended a reprieve and the *** got life instead. The cause of death was asphyxia, she had not been interfered with.

Fred Longman ?
11 June 1919 Barry, Wales
Starting in Liverpool on 5 June, race riots broke out in several cities in the summer of 1919 when men returning from the war found not a "Land fit for heroes" but unemployment, poverty and coloured immigrants interbreeding with white women. Negroes and other immigrants had been imported "to aid the war effort." Longman, a dock labourer, was stabbed to death by a Negro sailor: "The black waylaid him, seized him by the throat, pinned him against a wall, and stabbed him under the heart." The news spread rapidly and thousands of people, including many women, raided the negroes' quarters. The assailant turned out to be a native of the French West Indies.

Bentley, Tucker and Choate ?
16 December 1910
Houndsditch, London
Sergeants Bentley and Tucker and Constable Choate were investigating a burglary at a Houndsditch jewellery shop at 11, Exchange Buildings when they were shot dead by a man believed to be Jekabs Peterss, a member of Peter the Painter's gang of revolutionary anarchists, two of whom were later killed in the Siege of Sidney Street. The majority of the "Latvian" and "Russian" anarchists involved in the siege of Sidney Street and the robberies and killings which led up to it were Jews, as was Jekabs Peterss. Peterss escaped and by the time the Bolsheviks seized power in St. Petersburg in 1917 he had returned to Russia and become a close associate of Feliks Dzerzhinsky, founder of the Cheka (which later became the KGB). Peterss went on to be feared as one of the most brutal and indiscriminate executioners the Cheka ever produced. Most of those who made up the Cheka's death squads were Jewish.
