A 22-year-old Afghan asylum seeker named Safi Dawood, who arrived in the UK in 2020 and was granted asylum in 2022, was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder following a stabbing attack in Uxbridge, a suburb of London. During the attack, a 49-year-old dog walker, Wayne Broadhurst, was fatally stabbed, while two others were injured.Video footage of the incident and arrest, including police using a Taser to subdue Dawood, circulated on social media.

Despite the serious nature of the crime and its connection to the UK’s migration issues, mainstream media coverage was limited, with outlets like the BBC giving the story minimal front-page attention and avoiding identifying the suspect’s background in detail. Authorities stated the attack is not being treated as terrorism,but significant details including any motives remain unclear.

The subdued media response has sparked controversy and speculation on social media,where critics accused the press and government of downplaying the incident,while some commentators highlighted misinformation about Dawood’s immigration status. The case has fed into wider debates on immigration, asylum policies, and media openness in the UK.

It’s a murder that, given the country and the circumstances, should have been front page news. Instead, you had to search — hard — to find anything about it from mainstream media outlets, even if video of the crime was on social media.

According to the BBC, a 22-year-old Afghan national who came to the country in 2020 is in custody for charges of murder and attempted murder after repeatedly stabbing a dog walker and two others on Monday afternoon in the London suburb of Uxbridge, located just north of Heathrow Airport.

The dog walker, identified as 49-year-old Wayne Broadhurst, died at the scene after being stabbed in repeated and rapid fashion by the attacker. Two others were injured.

The BBC didn’t identify the alleged perpetrator, but the U.K. Daily Mail did: Safi Dawood, who came to the country in 2020 and claimed asylum, which the U.K. Home Office confirmed was granted in 2022.

“He was not known to Mr Broadhurst, who died at the scene, but was known to the other two alleged victims, the Metropolitan Police said,” the Daily Mail reported.

Footage showed both the crime and the arrest, with police officers chasing him with a Taser and warning him “drop the knife” and “get on the floor.”

He was finally felled by the stun gun. The Metropolitan Police later said that Dawood “required hospital treatment after suffering a medical episode” and was then taken into custody.

“This was a shocking and senseless act of violence that has left one man dead and two others injured,” said Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall said.

“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.”

Other aspects of Dawood’s case remain a mystery. The most obvious one — whether religious animus played any role in the attack — remains a mystery. The BBC reported that the authorities are not treating the attack as terrorism. This is a far different thing, in Britspeak, from saying that a terrorist motive has been ruled out. Any mention of Dawood’s religious beliefs, if any, or reasons for seeking asylum, are also a mystery.

This, quite naturally, led to speculation on social media:

WARNING: The following videos contain graphic footage that some viewers will find offensive.

Right-wing activist Tommy Robinson said that the alleged perpetrator “was staying at a taxpayer funded HMO in Uxbridge, entered the UK in the back of a lorry, and, of course, was granted asylum … Get them all out!”

This, also quite naturally, is the problem with not being upfront with what’s known about the alleged perpetrator of the crimes. Just because we can’t rule out terror does not mean that it is terror, for instance. Also, officials reported he wasn’t staying in a “taxpayer funded HMO” — “homes in multiple occupation” in the British context — nor was he in the U.K. illegally as many said. (He had asylum status for at least three years.)

However, as many noted, the media in Merrie England were certainly more than eager to keep things merry by keeping the story off the front pages, as one X user noted:

The suspect may not be illegal, but the difficulty of finding the story is factual: Despite the high-profile nature of the crime and its relationship to England’s migration crisis and the tensions that it’s caused, the coverage is buried far, far away from the front page of the news service’s webpage, both immediately after the news of the crime broke on Monday and as of late Wednesday evening, when the narrative was still unfolding on both social media and in more conservative-leaning publications like the Daily Mail.

Stories that were worthy of making the front page of the BBC’s website as of Wednesday evening, however:

Also of note was the way that the Beeb chose to headline the initial story:

“Dies in triple stabbing” is a heck of a lot of words to say “murdered” without actually even saying it. (“Perhaps the guy had a heart attack just seeing the stabbing happening; who knows?” the headline seemed to say, implicitly.) This has been changed to the ever-so-slightly more direct “Afghan man held after dog walker dies in stabbing.”

Whatever the case, even Elon Musk seemed to get the message about the silence — and the fear felt by everyday Britons who know their government and their media will do everything they can to keep it silent:

Enough is enough, indeed.

People can make assumptions based on facts, and those assumptions — along with distrust in authority — is amplified when politicians and the press stay as mute as possible about a crime any moron could guess at. If this were a Christian or atheist asylee, or if the asylum process was well-vetted and there were no prior red flags, rest assured we would have heard about it by now. Instead, silence. In cases like this, that void speaks volumes.
