Asylum seeker ‘danced and laughed’ after stabbing hotel worker 23 times, jury told


Thursday, October 16, 2025-A UK court has heard chilling details in the trial of an asylum seeker accused of stabbing a hotel worker 23 times before reportedly “dancing and laughing” near the scene.


Prosecutors described the attack as “frenzied and deliberate,” taking place in temporary accommodation housing asylum seekers. The victim, a 35-year-old hotel employee, died from his injuries despite desperate efforts by colleagues and paramedics.

The revelation has ignited fierce public debate over the government’s handling of asylum housing and mental-health screening. Critics of current policy say the tragedy exposes systemic failures, while advocates warn against painting all asylum seekers with the same brush.

Online discussions have grown increasingly polarized, reflecting broader tensions over immigration and public safety.

The trial underscores how fragile the balance between compassion and control has become in Britain’s asylum system.
