Brutal Railway Stabbing: Asylum Seeker Found Guilty of Murder

An “utterly callous” asylum seeker has been convicted of murder after a savage stabbing spree on a railway platform. Deng Chol Majek plunged a knife into Rhiannon Whyte, a hotel worker, 23 times, leaving her fatally wounded. The horrific attack happened less than three months after Majek arrived in the UK by small boat.

Cold as Ice in Court

Majek showed zero remorse as the guilty verdict was announced. During the trial, he was caught out lying about his age, claiming to be 19. But authorities revealed he was actually 27, based on records from a failed asylum bid in Germany.

Public Outrage and Calls for Justice

The shocking attack has sparked public fury, with many condemning Majek’s “utterly callous” actions. The case has also reignited debates over the handling of asylum claims and safety in UK communities.
