The post incorrectly states that the murder was committed by a ‘Rwandan migrant.’ The perpetrator is a 17-year-old British citizen. Lucy was arrested for inciting racial hatred in her X post, which called for mass deportations and arson against migrant hotels. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3wkzgpjxvo https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/17/wife-tory-councillor-jailed-lucy-connolly-racial-hatred-southport-attack
