BREAKING NEWS: MIGRANTS ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPT TO STEAL SWAN IN CHESHIRE!

 

This is awful, I hope the swan escaped. 

It reminds me of this in Llandudno 

A MUSLIM who killed a swan because he was hungry during a Ramadan fast walked free from court yesterday A MUSLIM who killed a swan because he was hungry during a Ramadan fast walked free from court yesterday.

Shamshu Miah was found with feathers in his beard and blood on his face at a boating pool on Llandudno’s West Shore.When challenged by police, he said he was fasting and "needed to eat".

Miah, 52, of Alexander Road, Llandudno, pleaded guilty to possessing a knife and

intentionally killing a mute swan on the second day of the fast.

Jim Neary, prosecuting, said Miah had previously pleaded guilty to both charges but sentencing had been adjourned for both psychiatric and pre-sentence reports to be completed.

Mr Neary told magistrates at Llandudno that on the night of September 25, local man William Cuthbert noticed a man behaving strangely near the lake.

Mr Neary said: "He could see the defendant trying to put the swan into a carrier bag. He saw the head of a swan falling out of the bag and the defendant trying to put it back inside.

"Police officers were called and found the defendant had blood on his shirt and white feathers inside his beard.

"He shouted to the officers: ‘I am Muslim, I am fasting, I needed to eat’."

Mr Neary said officers found a dead swan inside the bag: "He shouted to the officers: "I was hungry, I had to eat the swan so I killed the swan. I stabbed it."

Mr Neary said when officers wrongly pointed out that the swan was the property of the Crown and of the Queen, Mr Miah answered: "I hate the Queen. I hate this country you b******."

Miah was then arrested and a small kitchen knife taken from him.

Mr Neary said when a vet examined the swan, it looked like its head had been "ripped off."

Miah hold police officers it was Ramadan and he was hungry.

Mr Neary said: "He couldn’t at that stage see anything wrong with killing the swan. He admitted that he had used the kitchen knife to kill it."

Elen Parry, defending, said since the event, Miah’s family had "a fundamental change of heart".

She added: "They would like him to come home."

Probation officer Bernadetta Sowinska-Pritchard said: "Mr Miah wasn’t able to express what possibly he would have been able to in Bengali."

District judge Andrew Shaw said there was no evidence of a mental disorder.

Miss Parry added that a local mental health clinic would now be taking Miah as a client. Judge Shaw said: "You killed a swan at night. It was a cruel and reprehensible act. I don’t know how. There seems to be a suggestion that you bit it.

"It is a taboo act. The only sentence appropriate is a sentence in prison."

Judge Shaw sentenced Miah to two months concurrently on both charges, but ordered he be immediately released after already serving 57 days in custody.
