A young white man fatally stabbed by another of Indian origin and Sikh religion, in the port city of Southampton, a common scene of racial tensions. A 21 centimeter dagger to commit crime, the kirpan, which the criminal laws of the United Kingdom consider as an exception due to the religious symbolism it carries, and allow it to be carried on one’s person as long as it remains sheathed. An aggressor who lies, as proven in court, and who falsely accuses the victim of racist behavior to justify his stabbing. Some police officers who clumsily handcuff the victim while he lies dying on the floor, unable to breathe. A community willing to jump at the slightest spark of intercultural hatred. .
