S04E07 - Lee James (The Murder of Bijan Ebrahimi)

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.⁣ For all things British Murders, please visit my website: https://www.britishmurders.com/ Intro music: David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet' https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic My recording equipment: Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3F1Jkkj Cloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8 Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2 Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8 Purchase 'The Serial Killer's Book of Haiku' by Rose Bundy here: https://amzn.to/3lYRMbu Recorded using: Audacity iPhone XR Edited in: Audacity DaVinci Resolve 17 Mastered in: Auphonic References: https://www.britishmurders.com/leejames/ Learn more about your ad choices.
