Briton Murdered in America

Briton Alan Senitt, of Pinner, North West London, who was a rising Left-wing politician for the Labour Party, was murdered at two a.m on Sunday in Washington DC by a gang who slashed his throat open as he tried to prevent his American female companion from being raped. He died in the driveway of a mansion after walking the friend home from the cinema.

He fought May’s local council elections for Labour in Edgware and had worked for the all-party British-Israel parliamentary group as well as being a leading charity worker and activist for Jewish causes.

Before going to the US, Mr Senitt was the director of the Coexistence Trust, which aims to bring Muslims and Jews together to fight Islamophobia and anti-semitism. The 27-year-old Londoner was working in America on a leading Democrat’s presidential campaign.
