S04E07 - Lee James (The Murder of Bijan Ebrahimi)

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.⁣
