Remembering Richard Everitt 1978-1994
Thirty years ago today, a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death by a racially motivated gang. Most of that gang never faced justice. But Richard Everitt was not commemorated by any television series or parliamentary inquiry. On the anniversary of his death there is almost no mention of him in the press. Because Richard Everitt was White.
Richard Everitt lived and died in Somers Town, a district of London bordered by the railway stations at Euston, St Pancras and King’s Cross. In the years since his murder, generations of children from around the world have visited King’s Cross because of its association with the Harry Potter novels and films.
But in 1994 Somers Town was the scene of a far darker drama, rooted in racial conflict and the failure of the multiracial society.
Richard Everitt had no interest in politics or violence. On the evening of 13th August 1994 he had been playing football with friends. On his way home, walking with two of these friends (Paul Parascandalo aged 14, and Mark Fogarty aged 17), Richard called at a local shop to buy food.
Meanwhile a much larger gang of about twenty Bangladeshis, armed with knives, was out looking for trouble. This gang was searching for a White Irish teenager (Liam Coyle) over a petty dispute. Neither the gang members nor Coyle even knew Richard Everitt, but the gang’s intention was clear: they would attack any White boy they found. Even before cornering Richard Everitt and his friends, they had stabbed another unconnected White boy, inflicting minor injuries.
As Richard and his friends walked along Brill Place (behind what is now the British Library) the Asian gang confronted them and demanded to know whether they knew Liam Coyle. They truthfully replied that they didn’t. Mark Fogarty was then headbutted. At this point he and Paul Parascandalo, recognising they were outnumbered by an armed gang, and like Richard not being the type of youths who regularly fought in the streets, ran away and escaped.
Richard Everitt was cornered, alone, and stabbed through the heart. He died soon afterwards in hospital.
Meanwhile the Asian gang escaped. One of them, 19-year-old Badrul Miah, boasted that he and his friends had “stabbed up a White boy”. He had Richard’s blood on his clothing and shoes. Miah’s stupidity and arrogance led to his arrest.
Other local Asians closed ranks. Several of the gang members were rapidly despatched back to Bangladesh by their families and have never been apprehended. Only three Bangladeshis faced trial, and one of these was eventually released on the grounds of mistaken identity. He has since become an active Labour Party politician.
Miah was convicted of murder and given a life sentence. Showat Akbar was sentenced to three years for violent disorder.
Shamefully, the usual liberal-left suspects supported the Asian gang’s defence. The Society of Black Lawyers and the Stephen Lawrence Family Campaign rallied behind Miah and Akbar, who for a while were lionised by ‘anti-racists’ as ‘The King’s Cross 2’.
The case of Badrul Miah was taken as far as the European Court of Human Rights, where part of Miah’s defence argument was that the jury had been in some way “racist”:
“No direct racial prejudice was spoken of or obviously displayed by any member of the jury, however, there was an instant assumption of guilt by many jurors that indicates certain underlying prejudice of some description.”
Miah and his co-accused Showat Akbar maintained that they had nothing to do with the attack, and that the blood on Miah’s clothing was because they had happened to come across Richard Everitt as he lay bleeding to death, during the short interval between his stabbing and the arrival of the ambulance.
Fortunately the appeal courts rejected this transparent defence, but in 2008 Miah was released after serving 12 years of his life sentence. Most of the gang (including whoever wielded the knife) have never faced charges.
Richard Everitt would today be 45, perhaps playing football with his own children. Instead he lives only in the memory of his family and friends. His father died last year.
The only memorial to Richard Everitt (paid for by his parents) has twice been removed due to redevelopment of the area around the murder site. There has been talk of Camden Council installing some form of permanent memorial.
Thirty years after this foul murder, a handful of us who were active in nationalist politics in 1994 remain active today. We shall never abandon our struggle to rebuild Britain; to recapture a country in which Richard Everitt and the many other victims of multiracialism could have lived full lives instead of being sacrificed on the altar of liberal delusions and deliberate racial replacement.
Bromley: Four in court over Richard Price murder
Another vicious asian-on-white murder which goes unreported in the national ‘news’papers.
