Ex-soldier found guilty of murdering his neighbour in Norwich
A former soldier who ranted about society "bowing down to Muslims" has been found guilty of murdering his neighbour.Abdulkadar Chadli was discovered with a single stab wound to the chest at the home of Elvis Vickers in Norwich in November 2024.Vickers, now 48, who was caught on a police body camera calling his neighbour a "wrong 'un" who had "pushed his luck", claimed he had acted in self-defence.But a jury at Norwich Crown Court today found him guilty. He will be sentenced in the new year.On the stand, Vickers told the jury his neighbour's skin colour and religion was not an issue for him.But Christopher Paxton KC, prosecuting, told the court Vickers "was a man consumed with anger and hatred".The jury heard that he had said "I'm not letting these terrorists run my street" ahead of the attack, and referenced black people in a derogatory manner.The jury was shown the police body-worn camera footage from the scene in Mousehold Street.Officers found 48-year-old Mr Chadli – described by his family as a "kind, caring and gentle guy" – lying on the bathroom floor.As they tried to save Mr Chadli's life, Vickers said society was "bowing down to Muslims", and the victim was a "wrong 'un" who had "pushed his luck".
