Summary

In the seventh episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Lee James and Bijan Ebrahimi.⁣⁣⁣

Bijan arrived in the UK as a refugee from Iran in 2000 and settled in South Bristol.⁣

He received horrific abuse, both physical and verbal, from his neighbours at several different housing estates.⁣

On July 13, 2013, Bijan was kicked to death by his neighbour Lee James after incorrectly being branded as a paedophile by the other residents.⁣

Lee James was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years.⁣

This case is notable for the lack of support Bijan received from both Avon & Somerset Constabulary as well as Bristol City Council.⁣

0:21.3	I'm your host Stuart Blues and this is now the seventh episode of season four.
0:26.5	I had a message last week from one of my listeners on Spotify and they said that the episode
0:31.4	kept skipping. It didn't skip for me when I checked but I think I did mess up the editing in one
0:36.5	part of the show. I just can't remember at which point. Apologies for that but I think I did mess up the editing in one part of the show.
0:38.9	I just can't remember at which point.
0:43.0	Apologies for that, but hey, I'm only human, just like everyone else.

1:30.2	It also means that you'll see how tired I look.
1:31.3	Why do I look so tired?
1:35.7	Well, I'm a father of a toddler, and I work, and I do this on the side.
1:37.4	I'm just a tired man.
1:41.4	That's why it's in HD now, and I look like shit, but hey, whatever.
1:47.8	As always, let's kick off the show with this. Welcome to Daddy Facts.
1:53.5	That, as ever, was the ridiculously cute jingle for the show's opening icebreaker segment named Daddy Facts or Dad Facts. It's the part of the show that involves me reading out a random
