Migrant ‘tried to kidnap a little girl, 10,' while living in 3-star taxpayer-funded asylum hotel in leafy suburb
Edris Abdelrazig was arrested for allegedly trying to lure away the girl while she was with her father KIDNAP CHARGE Migrant 'tried to kidnap a little girl, 10,' while living in 3-star taxpayer-funded asylum hotel in leafy suburb Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MIGRANT from a taxpayer-funded asylum hotel has been charged with attempting to kidnap a child, The Sun can reveal. The Sudanese man appeared in court accused of attempting to swipe the girl of ten while she was with her father. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Edris Abdelrazig, 30, in Stockport, Gtr Manchester, was arrested for allegedly trying to lure away the girl on July 13. He had been living in a three-star, £100-a-night hotel in leafy Manchester suburb Wilmslow. Prosecutors say he travelled two miles south, where he made the attempt at taking the child near the Walnut Tree Playing Field. Abdelrazig appeared before JPs on July 15. He was remanded in custody to appear at Manchester crown court on August 26. It comes after claims of a cover-up because police told councillors in Nuneaton, Warks, to avoid disclosing that two suspects in the rape of a 12-year-old girl were asylum seekers. Warwickshire county council's leader, Reform UK's George Finch, said he had written to the Home Office to demand all asylum seekers be moved elsewhere. A Government spokeswoman said: 'Foreign nationals who commit crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and justice delivered.'
