Abdul Ezedi is dead and gone. The Clapham acid attacker was laid to rest in a Muslim burial at a cemetery in east London after a funeral at a mosque in the west of the capital. This is what his family and friends wanted for him. Given that we know he was a loyal customer of his local halal butchers in Newcastle right up until the end, we must presume it is what he would have wanted for himself too.
Head-in-the-clouds vicars are a longstanding stereotype. But judges are supposed to be different
Even the liberal dolts of our establishment – church leaders, immigration judges and the like – appear to have come round to the view that he was never really a Christian.
The woman and her two young daughters so hideously assaulted by Ezedi all survived but will carry the physical and psychological scars of his attack for the rest of their lives.
