shay parker

Ross Andrew Parker (19 August 1984 – 21 September 2001) was a seventeen-year-old White English boy, who was murdered in an unprovoked racially motivated-hate crime in the Cambridgeshire ceremonial county of the United Kingdom. He bled to death after being stabbed, beaten with a hammer and repeatedly kicked by a gang of Pakistani Muslim men. The incident occurred in the Millfield area of Peterborough, ten days after the September 11 attacks in the United States.
In December 2002, Shaied Nazir, Ahmed Ali Awan and Sarfraz Ali, all three Muslims of Pakistani origin, were unanimously found guilty of Parker's murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, each receiving minimum terms ranging from 16 to 18 years. A fourth defendant, Zairaff Mahrad, was cleared of murder and manslaughter.
A memorial plaque for Parker is located in the Netherton area of Peterborough where a football match is played each year in his memory.
