  1. Derby Sikh temple knifeman admits to stabbing and burglary charges Mohammed Ibrar's offence was described as a 'hate crime' Scene of an alleged stabbing in Normanton Road A 32-year-old Derby man has admitted to breaking into a Normanton temple before stabbing a man in a shop in what police later confirmed was a hate crime. Mohammed Ibrar pleaded guilty to assault occasioning grievous bodily harm with intent, possessing a knife and burglary when he appeared over videolink from HMP Nottingham for the 15-minute hearing at Derby Crown Court. But he denied the more serious charge of attempted murder saying through a Hindi interprepeter “I did not want to kill him, I was not in a good mental state”. Prosecutor Jonathan Cox said those pleas were acceptable, telling the court both a prosecution and defence psychiatrists had assessed Ibrar since he was remanded following the incident in May 2020. Adjourning the sentence, Judge Jonathan Bennett said: “Mr Ibrar you have pleaded guilty to three of these offences and the prosecution are not going to proceed with the most serious charge of attempted murder. “I am going to sentence you when I have heard both from the prosecution and your own barrister. “On that date I will allow an hour-and-a-half and in the meantime you will be remanded into custody. “Do you understand that?” Ibrar, through the interpreter, replied: “Yes I do.” Ibrar broke into the Guru Arjan Dev Sikh Gurdwara in Stanhope Street on the morning of Monday, May 25. Another call came in minutes later to say that a man had been stabbed inside the Polanica shop, in nearby Normanton Road. On arrival, officers found a 41-year-old man with injuries. The man was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre for treatment and was later discharged. In a statement released the following day, Chief Superintendent David Cox said: “I know this is a very upsetting incident not only because this is a place of worship but the alleged actions of the individual involved have a wider impact across the community. “I am taking this incident very seriously and I have a team of detectives who are working through the full circumstances of what has taken place. “As this investigation progresses I hope we will gain a clearer understanding of what happened. “This was a challenging incident to respond to with multiple scenes and multiple calls for service within minutes. I would like to thank those members of the community who assisted the police yesterday. “This is being treated as a hate crime.” In the days following the incident, the Sikh and Muslim communities in Derby issued a statement of solidarity. A post put up on the Derby Jamia Mosque Facebook page said both faiths “condemned the senseless acts without reservation”. It read: “On Monday, May 25, 2020, Guru Arjan Dev Ji Gurdwara was attacked by an individual who caused extensive damage to the windows and doors. “We, the undersigned representatives of the main Muslim and Sikh communities, condemn this senseless act without reservation. “Desecration of places of worship is unacceptable and can never be justified nor condoned. The Muslim and Sikh communities have been living together in Derby in peace and harmony for many years. “These types of senseless acts will not separate us. The actions of individuals do not represent our communities. “ The statement was signed by the Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji Gurdwara; Derby Jamia Mosque; Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara; Islamic Centre; Al-Farooq Masjid; Guru Ravidass Gurdwara; Pakistan Community Centre; Ramgharia Sabha Gurdwara and the Indian Community Centre. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/derby-sikh-temple-knifeman-admits-4935332
