A migrant has been charged with trying to kidnap a 10-year-old girl. Edris Abdelrazig, from Sudan, was living in a £100-a-night, three-star hotel in Wilmslow, Manchester, at the time of the attempted kidnap.
A court heard how the 30-year-old man tried to take the young girl while she was with her father near Walnut Tree Playing Fields in Stockport, Greater Manchester. He was arrested on July 13 and has been remaned in custody to appear at Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday, August 26.
As reported by The Sun, the Government has called the charge “deeply concerning”. They have insisted that Abdelrazig will face justice if convicted of the crime.
Reform UK’s George Finch, who leads Warwickshire County Council, has since written to the Home Office to demand all asylum seekers are moved elsewhere.
A Government spokeswoman said: “These are deeply concerning cases and we are in touch with local police and communities.
“Foreign nationals who commit crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and justice delivered.
“35,000 people with no right to be here have been removed in the government’s first year, including over 5,000 foreign criminals – a 14 per cent increase on the previous year.
“From over 400 asylum hotels open in summer 2023, costing almost £9 million a day, there are now less than 210, and we want them all closed by the end of this Parliament.”
