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.⁣For all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicMy recording equipment:Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3F1JkkjCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8Purchase 'The Serial Killer's Book of Haiku' by Rose Bundy here:https://amzn.to/3lYRMbuRecorded using:AudacityiPhone XREdited in:AudacityDaVinci Resolve 17Mastered in:AuphonicReferences:https://www.britishmurders.com/leejames/ Learn more about your ad choices.
