In the seventh episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Lee James and Bijan Ebrahimi.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Bijan arrived in the UK as a refugee from Iran in 2000 and settled in South Bristol.⁣⁣⁣He received horrific abuse, both physical and verbal, from his neighbours at several different housing estates.⁣⁣⁣On July 13, 2013, Bijan was kicked to death by his neighbour Lee James after incorrectly being branded as a paedophile by the other residents.⁣⁣⁣Lee James was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years.⁣⁣⁣⁣This case is notable for the lack of support Bijan received from both Avon & Somerset Constabulary as well as Bristol City Council.⁣⁣Follow British Murders on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/britishpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/britishmurdersTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@britishmurdersTwitter: https://twitter.com/britishmurdersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BritishMurdersPodcastMerchandise available here:https://teespring.com/stores/britishmurdersSupport the show on Patreon for early access to ad-free-episodes:https://www.patreon.com/britishmurdersMake a one-off donation here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/britishmurders All episodes are available on my website:https://www.spreaker.com/show/british-murdersWould you please send any British murder case suggestions to:britishmurderspodcast@gmail.comIntro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicMy recording equipment:Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3F1JkkjCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8Purchase 'The Serial Killer's Book of Haiku' by Rose Bundy here:https://amzn.to/3lYRMbuRecorded using:AudacityiPhone XREdited in:AudacityDaVinci Resolve 17Mastered in:AuphonicReferences:Bijan Ebrahimi death - a timeline of events.

Since September 2015, Mark Lacey has served as Chief Executive of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust. The trust comprises of eighteen academies, across Wiltshire and Dorset. The Trust serves 3,500 pupils and has a clear and active growth strategy as it seeks to drive forward improvement of its academies, the vast majority of which entered the Trust under sponsored arrangements. The Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust has a vision for the growth of thriving learning communities, that provide everyone with the opportunity to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Christian values and service are at the heart of all we do, as we help young people to develop excitement in learning. Mark served as Headteacher in a large challenging primary school in South Bristol. Appointed to headship at the age of 30, Mark led the school from inadequate to good. Key to the success of the school was the relentless focus on creating and maintaining an empowering vision for all members of the school community. Alongside this, development of people was key, and the school developed its own programme of coaching for all staff as well as being recognised as a Gold Level Investor in People. Mark also led the development of the Malago Learning Partnership, a collaboration of 9 local schools. As Chair of the group he guided the development of a highly successful school improvement strategy, an in-depth joint practice development programme and a range of curriculum and assessment programmes. In 2012 he led his school through the academy conversion process. He has also served for a number of years as a governor at a secondary school within the partnership. which achieved its first ever ‘good’ inspection outcome during this time. In addition to his work in school, Mark was very much involved in the development of the Local Leader of Education of education programme in Bristol through the National College, working in a coaching role with Headteachers to support them in the development and growth of leadership capacity; working with Headteachers to find solutions and ways forward within their own organisations. Mark has a Business Degree from the University of Bath as well as a Masters, with distinction, in Educational Leadership and Management from the University of Worcester, the latter of which focused on the effective features of collaborative partnerships between schools. Mark has four children of his own and is very active in the work of his local church. www.dsat.org.uk Twitter: @thedsat Linked In: Mark Lacey Mark was involved with new research produced by PrimarySite. It questions how easy it is for multi academy trusts (MATS) to grow and how Covid-19 has made expansion harder. Sustainable Growth in Multi Academy Trusts interviewed and surveyed MAT leaders and experts to get their insight on how MAT could grow. It identifies five important challenges: lack of available schools wanting to join MATs, a risk averse culture, competition from other MATs, a shortage of senior leaders with the right expertise, and limited access to funding to support growth. The research also found that managing immediate issues linked to the pandemic needed to take priority and would slow the growth of MATs plans for growth.

Bob Emmons sat down with his South Bristol friend Bob Buric, who recounted a truly remarkable event that took place when he was in Haiti, reluctantly, with a team there to rebuild a missionary school after a hurricane. Things didn't go as planned. Skidompha Sketches is a series of recordings of (mostly) local Maine residents or summer visitors with anecdotes, insights, recollections they wanted to share with us, similar to to StoryCorps recordings archived at the US Library of Congress. Like StoryCorps, our mission is to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters. Let us know if you'd like to participate!

Sharks and Stripers and Bluefish Oh My!!!! Our intrepid Gardener- Scientist- Entymologist- & Raconteur Extraordinaire from South Bristol, Bob Emmons shares some of his misadventures, preposterous lies, and bad jokes as...wait for it: a Fisherman! Just don't cut his fishing line or it'll cost you!

In this recording, we learn that Bob, the unassuming plant scientist and South Bristol raconteur once wrote regularly for the New York Times, almost got into a fight with an Hasidim Lothario, terrified the State Department by dirt-bombing a Chinese dignitary, and had nightmares about Ninja paratroopers. Then there was the Pony Express tire delivery service that probably didn't save taxpayers even if it was an ingenious idea at the time... You know--the usual stuff we've come to expect from Bob.

Our Resident storyteller from South Bristol recently informed us that he was a Boy Scout troop leader when he lived in upstate New York a while back. When prompted to tell us about some of his experiences, we had the tape rolling, as it were. The statute of limitations about the exploits of his...challenging troop of boys has passed--we hope.
