51-year-old Christopher Blurton has been jailed for ten months for racially abusing his women Sikh neighbours in Derby, UK.
The former British Soldier who called the young Sikh women “ISIS slags” and “dirty Pakis” was found guilty on Friday of racially aggravated harassment of his neighbours.
Blurton harassed the women over a three-month period and threatened them to “slice them up”, .
The court heard that Blurton sent the two Sikh women a note complaining about the state of their garden and said they were members of ISIS.
Blurton initially denied racially aggravated harassment between June 28 and August 19 last year.
“You frightened these two young women. They felt that they needed to move out. Your criminal record shows that you have resorted to violence in the past and had committed offences when drunk,” Recorder Adrian Redgrave said while sentencing Blurton. Blurton acted in that way towards the women because they were Asian, he added.
Mr. Redgrave added that Blurton acted in that way towards the women because they were Asian.
Blurton’s neighbours had moved into the home in 2014 and the problems began in June last year when he would yell from his yard “dirty Pakis” and “ISIS slags” at them.
His lawyer said Blurton had drinking problem.
Pronouncing the sentence, Recorder Adrian Redgrave said Blurton showed “not the faintest glimmer of remorse”.
