Mother of Murder Victim Demands Government Action Against Illegal Migrants
The grieving mother of a woman brutally murdered by an illegal migrant has issued a powerful demand for the government to prevent what she called 'scumbags' from entering the United Kingdom. Siobhan Whyte, whose daughter Rhiannon Whyte was killed in a frenzied attack, joined Reform UK leader Nigel Farage at a press conference today to call for significantly tougher measures to halt Channel crossings.
A Tragic Loss and a Call for Justice
Rhiannon Whyte, a mother-of-one, was murdered in October 2024 at Bescot Stadium railway station in Walsall. Her attacker, Sudanese national Deng Chol Majek, is believed to have entered the UK by small boat less than three months prior to the killing. Majek, who worked at a migrant hotel, was described as 'demonic and inhuman' by the victim's family during his trial.
In February, Coventry Crown Court handed Majek a life sentence with a minimum term of 29 years for the murder. The court heard how he showed no remorse throughout the proceedings, denying all allegations and calling forensic experts liars.
Emotional Plea from a Bereaved Mother
Speaking at the Reform UK event in Warwickshire alongside Nigel Farage, Siobhan Whyte delivered an emotional account of her family's suffering. 'He took Rhiannon's life in 90 seconds, stabbed her through the brain stem,' she stated. 'He has never shown any remorse, he called forensics liars, he just didn't care, he didn't tell us why, he just denied everything. So we've had to live with that.'
Mrs. Whyte highlighted the devastating impact on her family, explaining: 'Her little boy's been left without a mum, my children have been left without a sister, and I've lost my daughter through these scumbags that were allowed into this country illegally.'
Demanding Immediate Government Intervention
The bereaved mother issued a direct challenge to authorities, questioning when the next tragedy would occur. 'Something needs to be done, they need to stop allowing them in, because it's not Rhiannon, who will be next. Sadly there's children, there's young girls getting raped. When's the next murder, and a family having to go through what we're going through?'
Nigel Farage echoed these concerns during his remarks, placing responsibility on successive governments. 'Who next? There is nothing being done to change any of this. There is no plan with the French, and it doesn't really matter how much money we send them, because we've given them £800 million to stop this since 2014, and I think cases like this genuinely outrage the British public as they should,' he asserted.
Farage concluded by emphasizing the preventable nature of the tragedy, stating: 'This murder, this death was wholly unnecessary in every way.'
The press conference has intensified calls for stricter border controls and immigration policies, with Reform UK positioning itself as the party demanding immediate action to prevent similar incidents in the future.
