COMMUNITY leaders
in Swansea say racism will not be tolerated after a
man admitted the manslaughter of a refugee in the
city.
Lee Mordecai, 26, admitting killing Iraqi Kurd Kalan
Kawa Karim, 29, in an unprovoked racial attack.
The case at Swansea Crown Court on Friday was
adjourned for sentencing until next month.
Naz Malik of the All Wales Ethnic Minority
Association said it gave racists the message that
"we will not allow them to fester their hatred".
The court heard on Friday that Mordecai killed Mr
Karim with a single blow in an unprovoked attack in
Swansea city centre in September 2004.
Mr Karim later died in hospital.
Paul Thomas QC, prosecuting, told the court the
lesser charge of manslaughter had been put forward
after discussions with Mr Karim's family.
