A 25-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, October 13, after damaging a statue in the Church of Saint-Henri in Le Creusot (Saône-et-Loire).
According to ‘Creusot Infos’, the man, who is described as being of the Muslim faith, was completely drunk. He is alleged to have knocked over a statue of Saint Joseph before severing its head and displaying it on a bench.
As he left the church, he is said to have harassed several people, particularly young people, before being arrested by the police. Division Commander Arnaud Plantard states that he was previously unknown to the authorities.
The suspect spoke in a manner that was perceived as incoherent and exhibited signs of mental health issues. On the orders of the public prosecutor’s office, he was taken to the Hôtel-Dieu, where he was administered sedatives, and was subsequently due to be admitted to the specialist clinic in Sevrey. The investigation is ongoing.
Traditional British surnames could be dying out as they make way for names such as Khan, Ahmed and Ali.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) data has revealed a striking decline in traditionally British surnames among newborns across England and Wales.
The figures, seen by the Daily Mail, span roughly three decades and paint a picture of profound change in the nation’s demographic makeup.
Surnames that once dominated birth registrations – quintessentially British names passed down through generations – have seen sharp falls in prevalence.
Meanwhile, surnames with roots in South Asian and Muslim communities have climbed dramatically up the rankings.
The shift is among the most vivid statistical illustrations yet of how immigration and changing birth rates are reshaping the cultural landscape of England and Wales.
Back in 1996, Smith, Jones and Williams occupied the top three positions for newborn surnames. Taylor, Brown, Davies, Evans, Thomas, Johnson and Wilson completed that year’s leading ten.
The picture in 2025 looks remarkably different. Today’s top 10 reads: Smith, Khan, Ahmed, Ali, Jones, Hussain, Singh, Williams, Patel and Kaur.
Jones, whilst still featuring, has experienced a 43 per cent drop in popularity over the period. Williams has suffered a comparable decline, slipping to eighth place.
The remaining surnames that were fixtures of the 1990s list – Taylor, Brown, Davies, Evans, Thomas, Johnson and Wilson – have all fallen out of the top 10 entirely. They now sit between 11th and 17th position.
The surge in South Asian surnames has been dramatic. Khan, Ahmed and Ali have each doubled in frequency since 1996, while Singh and Kaur – traditionally adopted by Sikh men and women respectively – have risen at least fivefold.
Aman Bhogal from Global Britain UK told GB News: “Britain is now just a visa option for global migrants, an economic hub where people come to earn and send the money ‘back home’ and boast a ‘settled status’.
“And with it we are squandering our civilisational inheritance at the hands of a Whitehall long hooked on to mass migration.
“This massive demographic change is transforming our country rapidly in real time from the UK into the ‘Yookay’.
“I have previously called for an emergency brake on all migration; without one, the country we recognise will be long gone.”
The data relies on exact spelling, so different variations of the same surname are counted separately. Births where a surname appeared only once or twice were excluded from the dataset, ensuring statistical reliability across the 30-year comparison period.
Britain’s pool of surnames is also growing more diverse. In 2025, more than 23,400 distinct surnames were recorded among newborns, a notable increase from the 21,600 logged three decades earlier.
Yet concentration at the top has thinned considerably. Just 23 surnames were given to a thousand or more babies last year, down sharply from 57 in 1996.
Smith, still the nation’s most common surname, saw its numbers fall from 7,276 newborns to 4,102 over the period.
The findings arrive alongside separate ONS data published this summer confirming that Muhammad has held the position of most popular boys’ name in England and Wales for a third consecutive year, with 5,957 boys receiving that specific spelling in 2025.
Olivia, meanwhile, retained the top spot among girls for a fourth year running.
Since ‘universal health care’ is such a popular topic in the U.S., here’s how it’s working out in the UK.
On the one hand, babies and the elderly get ‘put down’ to save money and people are pulling out their own teeth due to lack of dentists.
The British Dental Association says around 12 million people are currently looking for an NHS dentist providing free care as increasing numbers of practitioners turn their backs on the NHS in favour of more lucrative private practice. Concern over the state of children’s teeth comes amid a population-wide emergency in dental services that has seen people resorting to “Victorian-era” solutions such as pulling out their own teeth.
But it also means the ‘disabled’ get free cars and boy are there suddenly a whole lot of disabled demanding their free cars.
One benefit, created to help those with disabilities be more mobile, allows people to give up part of their welfare cash handout in return for a new car every three years. It now accounts for around one in every seven new car sales in the U.K. Among those who got new cars last year: 40 people whose primary medical condition was tennis elbow, 50 with wheat intolerance and 320 with dyslexia, according to government figures.
Some seven million people—more than 10% of the population—now claim at least one or more sickness or disability benefits.
Catherine Wieland got on Britain’s welfare rolls in 2021. With a history of emotional trauma, she was too anxious to go outside or carry out simple tasks like washing herself, she told the government. Using a taxpayer-subsidized program for those with disabilities, Wieland paid a small deposit for a free BMW, which she used to regularly visit the hair salon, dine out at restaurants, attend a Brighton pride parade and visit an amusement park.
This is the typical paradigm for the welfare state in which basic shortages of core services is offset by vast amounts of money being spent on consultants, grifters and assorted special interests. You can get a free house or a car, but if you want to see a dentist, better pull your own teeth.
The extremes may not be as grand in the U.S. just yet, but we’re getting there. Just ask your friendly local Somali health care center.
A trans-identified male has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly stabbing a 50-year-old man 13 times on Chicago’s South Side. Prosecutors say the horrific crime was committed in front of a 7-year-old child, and the brutal attack caused the tip of the knife to break off and embed in the victim’s skull.
Kelly Day, 32, of Chatham, was charged following the October 7 killing in the 1400 block of East 87th Street. The victim, Larry Young, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died.
At a detention hearing on October 10, prosecutors said Young pushed Day before walking away towards a gas station across the street. According to the prosecution’s account, Day followed him and the two fought. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Day standing over Young as he lay on the ground and repeatedly stabbing his head, neck and upper shoulders.
Authorities say a pathologist recovered a broken blade tip from Young’s skull. The medical examiner determined that he died from multiple sharp force injuries.
Assistant State Attorney Sara Grgurovic also described an earlier confrontation involving Day at a McDonald’s, where a group of people had mocked Day for using the women’s toilets. Day subsequently told his wife that he did not want “bullies” to get away with making fun of him for being trans.
However, Young is not believed to have beeb part of the group who ridiculed Day. Young approached Day later on that evening while he was with his wife and his stepson as they walked along 87th Street, making comments about Day being transgender that prosecutors say prompted an argument. Day became “extremely angry” and resisted his wife’s attempts to pull him away, according to prosecutors.
After the stabbing, which took place in full view of Day’s own 7-year-old stepson, prosecutors say Day gave two different accounts of his injury in calls to 911, initially claiming that he had been hurt while defending himself against a “pervert,” while in a later call, he said he had cut himself while cooking.
Day allegedly discarded the knife before seeking treatment for a cut finger at Jackson Park Hospital, where he was ultimately arrested. Investigators recovered a knife with part of its blade missing.
After his arrest, Day claimed self-defense, telling investigators that Young had used a bigoted slur, made a gun gesture and threatened to have someone beat up him and his wife. Judge John Hock ordered Day detained pending trial, citing the brutality of the attack among the reasons for his decision, with Day’s next court appearance scheduled for October 13.
Since news of the arrest, multiple news outlets have focused on the alleged “transphobia” Day claimed to have been the victim of in the lead up to Young’s murder.
The Chicago Tribune quoted Isa Noyola, a trans-identified male who directs the Border Butterfly Project, attributing the incident to “the political climate, the social climate that we’re living in.” Noyola blamed “hate groups” and political leaders for demonizing trans-identified people. The report also discussed Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “Transfemicide Working Group,” an initiative concerned with the killing of trans-identified males, despite the person killed in this case being Young.
Hoodline’s headline read “Judge Orders South Side Trans Woman Held in Fatal Stabbing of Bully”, labelling Young a bully without quotation marks. Prosecutors had attributed the remark about “bullies” to Day, referring to the separate group at McDonald’s before he encountered Young.
If convicted, Day may be placed in a women’s prison in accordance with precedents set by previous litigation backed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the state.
In December 2025, Reduxx reported that Jordan Kuykendall, also known as “Sora”, had been moved to Logan Correctional Center, a women’s prison, while serving a 40-year sentence for the 2013 stabbing murder of his former girlfriend, 17-year-old Erin Schneider. She was found dead just hours before a court appearance concerning an emergency protection order sought by her mother.
In a separate investigation, Reduxx detailed the case of Andre Cashmere Patterson, also known as “Janiah Monroe”, who strangled his cellmate, Kimani Muhammad, in Cook County jail in 2006. He was similarly transferred to Logan in April 2019 following ACLU-backed “discrimination” lawsuit.
Two months after that transfer, a female inmate filed a report alleging that Patterson had raped her. In a subsequent lawsuit, she accused prison staff of trying to classify the assault as consensual and coercing her to retract her allegation. The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in September 2022.
Reduxx also reported on John Wesley Finnegan, who began calling himself “Hannah Dagny” years into a 22-year sentence for strangling his mother, Mary, in 2008. He later told police that he had sexually abused her corpse.
In December 2025, Reduxx documented Finnegan’s placement at Decatur Correctional Center, an Illinois women’s prison with a mother-baby unit. Chicago-based lawyers had also sought clemency for him, portraying him as a survivor of abuse.
The Labour Party-run British government reportedly provided funding used to train leftist activists to prevent Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party or the Conservatives from coming to power and to stifle the public’s concerns over mass migration.
In the wake of the 2024 Southport Riots, which broke out after a second-generation Rwandan teen went on a mass stabbing at a children’s dance party, leaving three dead and ten others injured, then-Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner announced a £15 million ($20m) “community cohesion” fund supposedly intended to prevent more disorder.
“In the immediate aftermath of the unrest, I was heartened to see the extent to which communities so quickly came together to support one another and their local areas, she said at the time. “This new Community Recovery Fund will support the work that is already under way and ensure that communities have the resources they need to rebuild.”
However, according to a report from London’s Daily Telegraph, some of the money from the fund was channeled through Labour-run city councils into left-wing political projects, including the training of activists by groups such as the School of Organising, which was reportedly founded by former members of the far-left cancel culture Hope Not Hate group.
The broadsheet reported that materials produced for the training sessions included instructions on how to convince voters to reject Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and the “Tory-Right”, while coaching activists up on strategies to shift working-class communities away from voting for right-wing parties.
One training session reportedly told attendees that “our people (the working classes) are voting Reform UK in the belief that migrants are the problem,” while “toxic forces are asserting a narrative that prioritises the interests of straight, white, men.”
The activists were informed of the “vulnerability of working class communities to far-Right, alt-Right and Tory-Right narratives of division and blame” which included claims that “migrants put strain on underfunded services and are willing to work for lower pay”.
Meanwhile, the lectures are said to have taken aim at specific British politicians, including Nigel Farage, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who were described as being “symptoms of the same disease” as President Donald Trump, Dutch Party For Freedom leader Geert Wilders, French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, Indian PM Modi, and anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson.
Mr Farage was reportedly described in another publicly-funded leftist training effort as “a classic authoritarian populist” who is intent on “undermining democracy”.
Farage’s party, Reform UK, is described as being “hostile to multiculturalism, hostile to LGBTQ+ rights, opposes ‘woke’ in the classroom, wants out of the European Convention of Human Rights, and will rip up our already limited climate change commitments.”
Activists were even trained on to oppose anti-mass migration protests, including on how to form their own counter demonstrations, as well as being coached up on social media campaigns and sloganeering.
In one scenario laid out, trainees were told of a seaside town which has seen a large influx of migrants and that local candidates are preparing to run in an election opposing “giving preferential housing to refugees and asylum seekers, allowing school standards to drop because of the presence of children who have English as a second language, and for giving grants to ethnic and other minority groups”.
“There has been a number of unpleasant stories in the local paper, which has begun to prioritise reporting of petty crimes by migrants (shoplifting, drunkenness etc) and the editorials have begun to suggest that these migrants are unwelcome.”
The training suggested that they set up protests and look to groups like Hope Not Hate for inspiration on “disrupting far-Right candidates at elections”.
The funding for the leftist political organising reportedly came though the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), which Angela Rayner led at the time, prior to her being forced to resign after it was revealed she had not paid full tax on a second home. She has since been brought back into government by Prime Minsiter Andy Burnham.
According to The Telegraph, the £15 million “Community Recovery Fund” was distributed to local councils, which then went on to allocate the money to groups including the School of Organising.
The report found that the then-Labour-run Birmingham City Council funded the initial pilot scheme for the activist training sessions to the tune of £13,450 ($17,814). This was followed by similar efforts by the councils in Blackpool and Sheffield, among others.
Responding to the report, a spokesman for the Housing Ministry said: “Councils are not permitted to use taxpayers’ money to fund partisan issues or party-political activity. Councils must make sure money is spent in line with their responsibilities, and we have powers in place to recoup money if it is found to have been misspent.”
Another devastating milestone of the open-borders catastrophe has come to light.
New report out of Germany reveals that hundreds of child marriages have been officially logged across the country, exposing young girls, some as young as 11 years old, trapped in marital unions with adult men hailing from high-risk migration zones like Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan.
The findings emerged after lawmakers Nikolaos Boutakoglou and Emely Knorr of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party demanded answers from the state government.
For years, the legacy media and globalist elites in Berlin insisted that mass migration would enrich European society without consequences. Instead, they imported medieval practices that fundamentally clash with Western law, leaving vulnerable children to bear the brunt of reckless, unvetted border policies.
Since April 2012, officials in Baden-Württemberg recorded 358 marriages involving a child. Just eight were formally annulled. Since 2015 alone, 350 cases were logged.
According to Euronews, the records include several troubling cases involving girls from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, as well as a German teenager married to a Pakistani man.
Among the documented cases:
2020: An 11-year-old Iraqi girl was married to a 17-year-old Iraqi boy. Authorities subsequently annulled the marriage.
2018: A 14-year-old Afghan girl was married to a 30-year-old man before the marriage was annulled.
2024: A 16-year-old German girl was married to a 25-year-old Pakistani man. The marriage was annulled.
2024: A 16-year-old Syrian girl was married to a 27-year-old Syrian man. That marriage was also annulled.
Nearly 40 percent involved Syrians, while marriages between two Germans accounted for a mere 0.3 percent, according to AfD politician Nikolaos Boutakoglou.
The Baden-Württemberg inquiry also uncovered troubling information from YASEMIN, a counseling service supporting young people threatened by forced marriage.
In 2025, the organization recorded 271 counseling cases, including 80 involving individuals facing the threat of forced marriage.
Of those 80 individuals, 33 were minors.
Four were younger than 12, five were 12 years old, and two were 13.
These figures concern reported threats of forced marriage and must be distinguished from confirmed marriages.
The findings underscore the importance of early intervention, school-based reporting procedures, and adequate protection for children who may be vulnerable to coercion.
AfD politician Emely Knoll stated: “Child marriages are incompatible with our values. Children have a right to safety, education, and a self-determined future. That is why we need effective protection, early intervention, and decisive action against forced marriages.”
This is not new. In 2017, The Gateway Pundit reported that German authorities had already documented more than 1,500 cases of child marriages among refugees, including 361 girls under the age of 14. At the time, 664 of the child brides came from Syria, followed by Afghanistan and Iraq.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas declared that “Children do not belong at the wedding altar, they belong in school,” and lawmakers moved to outlaw child marriage.
AfD co-chair Alice Weidel highlighted the Baden-Württemberg numbers, accusing the government and the Christian Democratic Union of tolerating the situation for more than a decade while open borders continued.
She noted that courts annulled only eight of the marriages between 2018 and 2024 and argued the practice will end only through stronger AfD involvement.
A new report has revealed that 25 percent of people euthanized in Belgium in 2025 were not deemed “terminally ill,” demonstrating the normalization of the deadly practice in the European country.
The report by the Federal Commission for the Control and Evaluation showed that 1,117 euthanasia deaths in 2025, accounting for 24.9 percent of all registered euthanasia cases, were carried out on individuals whose death wasn’t “expected in the short term” and who had “incurable” conditions, including common ailments in the elderly.
Some of those who allegedly requested to die did so due to psychiatric or cognitive conditions like dementia, while others had “chronic” conditions. While most people killed by euthanasia were elderly, one who died by assisted suicide in 2025 was a teenager.
According to the government report, the responsible commission approved 85.6 percent of cases at the first hearing without requesting further information about the patient. This was up from the previous year, when the commission approved 80 percent of cases without asking any questions. While the other cases required additional information or clarification from a doctor, all requests were ultimately granted, and every person who requested euthanasia was killed.
As LifeSiteNews reported previously, a record number of 4,486 people were killed via assisted suicide in Belgium in 2025, representing a 12.4 percent increase from the previous year and four percent of the total deaths in the country.
Since legalization in 2002, over 42,000 people in Belgium have died by assisted suicide. In the first full year of legalized euthanasia (2003), 235 people were killed by assisted suicide. That number has steadily risen every year since the introduction of the law.
The Belgian law does not require those seeking “assisted dying” to be near the end of their lives. Since 2014, age restrictions have been removed, allowing minors “with capacity of discernment” to legally end their lives as well.
In April this year Eurostat said the population of the European Union would peak in 2029 at 453.3 million and then fall to 398.8 million by 2100.
Around 150 BC Polybius recorded much the same about Greece: a shortage of children and a general depopulation, with no war or plague to account for it. The cause, he decided, lay in men who would not marry, or raised one or two children so that each might have more.
Twenty-two centuries on, what Pierre Chaunu called in 1976 the peste blanche, the white plague, is handled either in anaesthetised technical language or in euphemism. Demography moves quietly for decades and then turns irreversible at a stroke. The mothers of 2050 have already been born, and what is changing in Europe is not only the number of inhabitants but who they are.
In 2025, 4.81 million people died in the EU and 3.46 million were born, the 14th consecutive year of natural decline. The population rose all the same, to 452 million, carried by net migration of 2.05 million. Since 2012 every year of growth has come from abroad. Spain gained 442,428 residents in 2025 although more people died there than were born, and one in five of its 49.6 million residents on January 1, 2026 had been born abroad.
Fertility in the EU fell in 2024 to 1.34 children per woman, the lowest of the series, against 2.62 in 1964 and a replacement threshold of 2.1. Not even France, at 1.61, comes close, and Spain stands at 1.10, Italy at 1.18. One in four children born in the Union that year had a foreign-born mother.
Aristotle placed the family at the origin of the city and Leo XIII wrote in 1891 that it precedes civil society. Every function the family stops performing is taken up by power, so a State that grows and a family that shrinks are not two phenomena but one.
Of the 203 million households in the Union, 23.4 per cent contain children, and the commonest type, at 37.5 per cent, is the adult living alone. Between 2016 and 2025 the EU population grew by 8 million people while couple-with-children households fell by 2 million. The European Commission has kept a demographic toolbox since 2023 with immigration among its instruments, which is to confuse size with identity.
The material condition of any family is a home, and in Europe it is out of reach at the age of parenthood. Between 2010 and 2025 house prices in the Union rose 58 per cent and rents 28 per cent, while real wages have barely recovered their 2019 level. Young Europeans leave their parents’ house at 26 on average, Spaniards and Italians at 30. Of every €100 it costs to employ an average worker in Spain, more than €40 goes in tax and contributions before reaching his pocket. Proletarius in Rome was the man who owned nothing but his offspring. Europeans have inverted the equation.
Mass immigration is presented as the remedy when it is part of the same machine. The United Nations calculated in 2000, in Replacement Migration, that the EU of 15 would need some 47 million immigrants by 2050 to hold its population steady, and around 700 million to preserve the ratio of workers to pensioners. Its own authors concluded the second figure lay beyond reach.
The official account insists immigrants do the work Europeans will not. Spain has 2.5 million unemployed, one of the highest jobless rates on the continent, and one of the lowest shares of unfilled posts, 0.9 per cent against an EU average of 2 per cent. What is scarce is not labour but pay that will support a life. Foreign workers there earn €1,846 gross a month on average against €2,508 for nationals and hold 55 per cent of domestic service jobs, trades Spaniards worked in the 1990s on a wage that covered a mortgage. The immigrant accepts what the native cannot without giving up a family, fixing a price for work paid by natives with the least and enjoyed by those with the most. The OECD puts their net fiscal contribution for 2006-2018 at between −1 per cent and +1 per cent of GDP across most of its members, negative in 18 of 25 once public goods are charged to them.
Social protection absorbs about 27 per cent of the Union’s GDP, and each State operates in practice as an enormous pension fund. A pay-as-you-go system of the kind Europe generalised after 1945, heir to the insurance Bismarck devised in 1889, requires contributors who increase without end. When they stop, there are two roads: Reform or import. Governments took the second and called it humanitarianism.
A census can grow while the nation dissolves. Edmund Burke described society as a partnership between the living, the dead and those yet to be born. The demographic question is not one of pensions or labour supply but of whether Europeans still take themselves for heirs of a civilisation. Polybius wrote while Rome was razing Corinth. Plutarch noted later that all Greece could barely muster 3,000 hoplites. The cities were still standing, with their magistrates, their temples and their laws. Without Greeks.
Police arrested an 18-year-old Syrian man on suspicion of raping a 17-year-old girl in a stairwell in a popular nightlife district, authorities said.
The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. Sunday in a multi-family building on Königsbrücker Strasse in Dresden’s Neustadt neighborhood, near Albertplatz, according to police and media reports. The area is known for bars, pubs and clubs that remain busy into the early morning hours.
The man reportedly dragged her into the stairwell of a building and raped her there. Neither he or the victim lived in the building.
The girl escaped her alleged attacker, fled the building and encountered a police patrol on the street, where she reported the rape, police said. Officers immediately launched a search and arrested the suspect nearby a short time later.
The Syrian man was brought before an investigating judge Monday and ordered held in pretrial detention at Dresden’s justice prison, according to Bild newspaper. Criminal police are investigating the case as rape. Investigators are still determining whether the two knew each other beforehand.
Police have released few additional details about the circumstances of the incident or the girl’s condition. The suspect has not been publicly identified by name. The investigation continues.
A father who murdered his two young children and was transferred to a women’s prison after beginning to identify as transgender has been accused of sexually harassing female inmates while authorities look the other way. Paulus Said Foukaih Abdelshahed, an Egyptian national, was transferred to a women’s prison after changing his name to “Lily,” where he is serving a life sentence for the killings.
On April 23, 2024, police and ambulances services were dispatched to Abdelshahed’s residence in response to a call that he had made. Abdelshahed told emergency services that his two children – a boy and a girl, both under the age of 10 – were not breathing, according to a criminal indictment lodged in November that year.
When officers arrived at the residence, they found both children dead. Court documents and subsequent reporting state that prosecutors determined Abdelshahed had placed bags over each child’s head and pumped helium into the bags through a hose, depriving them of oxygen. The prosecution described the killings as intentional, carefully planned, and particularly ruthless. Investigators recovered items from the home consistent with this method, including bags, tape, and gas-related equipment.
Before the murders, for example, Paul Abdelshahed had Googled “killed his own children,” “die together” and searched for “the most gentle way to kill someone.”
Abdelshahed admitted to killing the children during the investigation, and admission prosecutors cited alongside forensic findings and other physical evidence. A psychological examination ultimately concluded that Abdelshahed did not suffer from a serious mental disorder of the kind that would justify sentencing him to compulsory psychiatric care rather than prison.
In December 2024, the Södertälje District Court convicted him on both counts and sentenced him to life imprisonment and deportation in the event he was ever released. Abdelshahed quickly appealed the verdict, arguing that the court should have imposed psychiatric care rather than a life sentence. However, his appeal was quashed by the Svea Court of Appeal in February 2025.
Yet during this process, Abdelshahed had applied to change his sex marker on official identification documents, and legally changed his name to “Lily”. As a result, it was discovered he had been transferred from Tidaholm men’s prison into a women’s prison in Ystad (Ystadsanstalten) some time near the end of 2025.
SWEDEN: An Egyptian migrant convicted of murdering his two young children has been moved to a women's prison after changing his legal sex to "female."
Paulus "Lily" Abdelshahed claimed he would not have committed the crime had he been born a woman.https://t.co/zKFeccJwH7
Abdelshahed began crossdressing publicly in 2023, when he would go to his job at Scania in Södertälje dressed up as “Lily”. On some occasions, he would also wear a wig and women’s clothes when picking up his children from school.
During police questioning that followed his initial arrest, Abdelshahed appeared to blame his “gender dysphoria” for the murders of his two children. “I was born in the wrong body… If I were born Lily, I would be happy and still have my children… [and] live my life as it is,” he told authorities.
New reports tell of how Abdelshahed has been accused of continuous sexual harassment by multiple female inmates at the women’s prison where he is being held. Correctional officers employed at Ystad and six inmates came forward to tell Expressen of the ongoing “inappropriate behavior”, which includes Abdelshahed exposing himself to the women there.
According to the report, Abdelshahed walks around the facility while wearing a short night gown without underwear, with his penis exposed. “[He doesn’t] wear underwear, like the rest of us do. When I and others have told the staff, we are told that we are LGBTQI-hostile,” said a woman who was recently incarcerated at Ystad.
One woman who suffers from PTSD after surviving a sexual assault has had a panic attack after seeing Abdelshahed leave his room wearing nothing but a short night gown. Despite this, she was the one reprimanded by staff for inappropriate behavior, not Abdelshahed.
Another inmate explained that Abdelshahed repeatedly slaps her on the rear. “He has told me that he likes women, which makes me even more uncomfortable,” she said.
Still another inmate says that he has tried to enter the shower room — an area which can’t be locked — while other female inmates were showering on several occasions. She described the situation as a “horror scenario”, and said that he has walked in on her as she did her laundry there just to expose his penis to her: “The shower room also serves as a laundry room and Lily deliberately goes there when I’m washing, just to show [himself] naked,” the woman said.
Other inmates also describe how Abdelshahed invites younger women to his room on the premise of applying their makeup. Staff who came forward to Expressen reported feeling confused about how to handle the situation, and fear of retaliation from management for voicing concerns.
Additionally, reports of sexual harassment have been filed against Abdelshahed with both the police and the Ombudsman, but the cases have been dropped. According to Chief Safety Officer Jimmy Nyberg, female inmates “feel that their experiences of the challenges are not taken seriously by management.”
Investigators recovered this image of Paul Abdelshahed from his computer in 2023.
Abdelshahed is said to have initially lied to the female inmates about the reason for his incarceration. He reportedly told them he was only going to be held at the women’s prison for one year. Female inmates discovered the truth of his life sentence only after seeing a news segment about him on television.
“There was an entire correctional force for Lily’s department. They guarded him from other inmates until he was allowed to move out to a special ward in eight places and since then he has been there,” one woman said.
Inmates also described how Abdelshahed would wear makeup when he first arrived, but has now given up on applying cosmetics. “You can see without any problems that it is a man,” a correctional officer said.
The director of the women’s prison at Ystad, Anders Jansson said: ”There is nothing in our regulations that specifies how we should handle these cases. We have determined that this person is a woman. [Abdelshahed] is a woman, and if you have a female personal identity number, you’re going to be placed in a women’s prison.”
Sweden’s Legal Gender Recognition Act (Könstillhörighetslagen) officially came into force on July 1, 2025. The legislation streamlined the process for changing sex-identifiers on legal documents, without a requirement for surgical intervention. Previously, under a law passed in 1972, legal sex changes required approval from the Legal Advisory Council of the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen), as well as a formal psychiatric diagnosis of transsexualism, or gender dysphoria. Under the new process, an applicant needs only a healthcare statement confirming an experience of “gender identity”, with no formal psychiatric diagnosis required.

Late last year, a trans-identified male and convicted pedophile was arrested as the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a young woman in the residential area of Rönninge, Sweden. Robin Andersson, who recently began calling himself “Vilma,” was arrested on December 30 and detained under suspicion of murder and the gross desecration of a corpse.
Andersson had previously attempted to kidnap a 10-year-old girl in 2019 and was found in possession of over 42,000 files depicting child sexual abuse and graphic images of female corpses. Andersson had targeted the girl while wearing a black mask, and equipped with zip ties and duct tape, attempted to force the girl into his car. The child managed to escape, and during court proceedings Andersson described his predatory behavior as a “cry for help.”
While under suspicion for the attempted abduction, a forensic investigation uncovered the significant quantity of graphic content in Andersson’s possession, which included both depictions of dead women and child sexual abuse.
The female corpses were also dismembered, as they were photographs from autopsy examinations. The convicted pedophile was also reportedly searching specifically for autopsy images of female genitalia.
Andersson’s internet search history showed that he was looking for information about drugging girls and disposing of their corpses. Investigators were able to track down certain internet searches he had made, such as: “Make someone unconscious,” “chloroform,” and searches for dead female bodies.
A forensic psychiatric examination conducted at the time determined that one of Andersson’s driving forces behind the attempted abduction was his “sexual interest in children and death,” adding that he “does not believe that the plaintiff has been harmed by the act and states that it is not clear that the children depicted in the abuse material feel bad about it.”
