A man identified as Ahmed Alid, 45, is on trial for the fatal stabbing of Terence Carney, 70, in Hartlepool, UK.
The prosecution alleges Alid’s motive was revenge for the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Alid allegedly stabbed his housemate, Christian convert Javed Nouri, multiple times before fleeing.
Nouri reported Alid’s concerning behavior, including religious extremism and carrying a knife, to housing authorities and the Home Office.
Alid reportedly expressed approval for violence against Israelis while watching news coverage of the conflict.
The attack occurred last October, following a Hamas attack. Nouri fought off Alid despite being stabbed. Alid then allegedly stabbed and killed Carney.
Alid reportedly told police he believed he was avenging the deaths of Palestinian children by attacking the two men.
Nouri expressed discomfort with Alid’s strict religious views and his reaction to the news coverage. He reported Alid’s threatening behavior to authorities on multiple occasions.
Alid has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The details presented here are based on the prosecution’s arguments during the ongoing trial.
