That this House notes the sentences handed to the individuals responsible for the brutal and fatal attack on 80-year-old Mr Bhim Kohli in Braunstone Town; further notes with grave concern that Mr Kohli, a much-loved family man and respected member of the local community, died the day after he was violently assaulted in a racially motivated attack; notes the widespread public concern at those sentences; expresses heartfelt condolences to Mr Kohli’s family, friends and neighbours; recognises the profound impact this horrific crime has had on the community; and calls on the Attorney General to urgently review the sentences under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme to ensure that justice is served and that those who commit such heinous and racially motivated crimes are held fully accountable.
