I’m a foreigner living in the UK myself, people with this behaviour have no place in any society. Not usually eager to point fingers but UK Police are way too soft on such events, it appears as they had plenty of chances to use more serious measures on him. A day before this person made a threat to kill another person plus several years of incidents. Think that threat alone would required a hard handed measure. This type of behaviour makes people want to take measures themselves.

We have the same problem in the US. My parents were immigrants. We find the same issue with US criminal system. The no-contact orders don't mean anything. Too many women and men die here because the laws (or perhaps, the judges who interpret it) are light about violent offenders, but are harsh on drug possession violations. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

They didn't even allow the situation for him to escalate in front of them so they had cause to arrest him, like threatening officers, etc. Then once they already made the mistake of calling - once he already said he'd go deal with the problem himself, admitting murder - the police STILL didn't physically follow up.

We had a similar situation with an Asian neighbour . Eventually we called the Police one night after he tried to break in . Although we had done nothing wrong , because we are from South Africa ; the Police were reluctant to lay charges . They suggested we must " consider his welfare " . Eventually I cxd the case and he left . British justice is often no kustice at all

[@shannonboegel7169]

Yep, same here in the United States

[@aservantinbabylon]

Ah, another "diversity enricher" coming to the west to make us so much better, more tolerant. more moral beings. And look at these British men, so cucked, so effeminized, so weak. This was a middle aged, fat, chain smoking, barefoot , blob. And this was going on for years, right? And all the neighbors were on the same page. And the cops, of course, wouldn't do anything. As such, the men should have gotten together, set him up, and "taken care of the problem" with just a bit of effort. Should have been quite easy, especially considering that this idiot was such a dumb loser. But I'd suspect from the selfies of two of the men, the one that lived and the one that died, that they were drug around by the testicles by the old ladies. You can always tell this by the childish, vapid grins like little boys and things like a pierced brow that the one man has as a father. Never matured past the age of about 14. Completely emasculated, completely pathetic. "Oh no, call the cops 100s of times for years honey!! You can never solve the problem yourself like a masculine man would! That might threaten my "strong, independent, delusion!! " Really, they deserve what they have coming to them. And I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the widow ends up marrying another " diversity enricher" like the one that killed her husband .Thanks small hats!!!!

@@shannonboegel7169 It's not the same in the United States. US laws are much more restrictive on criminals, and so is the US justice system. You clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about. Not to mention the fact that citizens in the US are actually able to protect themselves.

[@carolynjiminez1247]

Why do you have to say an “Asian” neighbor? Is that relevant to your story. There are bad people in every country and culture.

[@defiantking7777]

Rest In Peace to Matt, and my heart goes out to his family and the other neighbor who was attacked. With that being said as a man I could never live in fear of another man especially a neighbor. As soon as the police didn’t intervene then its all up to me. Not starting it but absolutely finishing it.

[@fhenlizhao5406]

Exactly. Forget about reasoning. This man had to pretend he was decent to immigrate to the UK. Am sorry but if people overstay their welcome start kicking them out before they start killing people. He was obviously a pervert as well peeking through ppls window. What would he have done if he got the chance and no one was there. No doubt he would have harmed them too.

[@manateapie]

This one truly shocked me. My heart broke for his family and children. Utterly senseless loss of life.

[@bittehiereinfugen7723]

Here in Germany it's the same evil game; As long as nothing really bad happens, the police or the state can hardly do anything. I myself suffered from a crazy, malicious neighbor and often had to call the police when she went berserk again and threatened me and my children. For weeks and months I phoned my fingers sore looking for real help - without success. This woman should have received an urgent psychiatric evaluation, but as she never physically assaulted us she was "of no danger to herself or others" and there was no legal basis for forcing her to undergo a medical examination, although other neighbors could attest to what this woman was doing to us . We had no choice but to give up our home and move, the situation was unbearable and my children were constantly afraid. This unbelieveble sad Case reminds me of this terrible, fearfull Time.

[@tubensalat1453]

Sorry to hear. Not really an expert, but I believe multiple people testifying to the threats is actually enough grounds for the police to act. Maybe they just didn't feel like it. Of course on the other hand they have plenty of resources and show amazing capabilities when they - or their superior - feel like it; I'm thinking of "Pimmelgate" (it even got international coverage). A user made an unfriendly remark towards a politician; and when usually police either don't act at all or claim they have no way of pursuing it - be it the worst insults, fascist propaganda, specific death threats - they were able to identify the poster. They interrogated him, he confessed. That's already some effort there, but they put even more into it: They sent a SWAT team to raid his apartment and confiscate his devices (after he confessed). When that remark appeared on a wall they repeatedly sent their police painter squad to paint over it (yes, our glorious city state Hamburg has a police painting squad because that's a priority), and they sent out their forces to remove stickers with that remark from lamp posts...

[@soapy5523]

God Bless Steve and the other neighbours for their quick thinking to keep him at bay. Those women are so strong, both fought for their loved ones - they should be so proud of themselves. I pray for their healing and I hope this monster gets whats coming to him in jail. This could have been avoided if the police just LISTENED.

[@terrypussypower]

But they didn’t “keep him at bay” did they! He walked into that house and stabbed the guy to death and no one stopped him. If that had been around here, we’d have stopped him BEFORE he murdered the guy! That cop could’ve knocked him out with that lump of wood! It was obvious what that POS‘s intent was…

[@notjustanotherbrickinthewall]

This is so messed up. I can’t imagine the pain of that woman losing her husband. I hope she will eventually find peace. I can’t imagine the police didn’t come to talk to him and other people as well as and took him to the station, or at least sent someone to keep an eye. Specially as there was a police officer living in the neighbourhood.

[@blackfox658]

I have seen a lot of crime case stories but the way Adrian narrates it with the scary music especially the intro text one it addicts me to his content. Adrian is a legend

[@CoffeehouseCrime]

Thank you!!

RIP Matthew and Peace to his Family.

[@beazelled4915]

It's mad to see Matt's case being featured here. He was a big fan of the Elis and John show and was a prominent member of their Facebook fan group and a few of their splinter groups. News of his untimely passing rocked the community, a gofundme raised a significant amount for his family which I think hours to show how much of a character Matthew was.

[@wingolamo]

I'm assuming you were a friend of his or an acquaintance, and if so, I'm very sorry for your loss. It seems that he was a lovely human that didn't deserve any of this.

[@beazelled4915]

@@wingolamo I only knew of him through the PCD community, never interacted with him directly but saw his name regularly mentioned after it happened. Although I never knew him you get a feel of what a person he must have been, there were a lot of posts of condolences at the time and a lot of members keeping tabs on the trial and raising drinks in his honour.

Gotta love when the suspect admits premeditation before he's even put in the police car.

[@kenn1936]

That is exactly what I thought. Now they have him for premeditation and threats against the police that he will kill them too.

[@resonate3987]

I live in Wales and I'm surprised I haven't heard about this case before watching your video. Thanks for covering this Adrian, informative as ever!

[@juangalvez2404]

In the case of the Zushi Stalker on this channel, the one in Japan where the police LITERALLY GAVE A STALKER HIS VICTIM'S ADDRESS after she had moved far away and changed her name, which resulted in her murder, her husband sued the police/government for their negligence and won money for it. I know that there is no amount of money that could make up for the loss of a loved one, and in that case the husband only received a paltry $10,000 as well, but I would say the police were similarly negligent here and the family deserves some form of compensation as a result. I hope their family finds peace, and that the children are able to grow up as healthily and well adjusted as one can, having their father murdered outside their home...

[@judithcampbell1705]

[@jeremyt2212]

Correct me if I'm in the wrong here, it could just be a matter of selection bias, but based on so much true crime content it gives one the impression that British police have a bad habit of downplaying threats, disregarding warnings and generally finding every reason not to act until it's too late. Am I missing something here?

[@judgeprime3730]

Yup, weak pathetic police.

[@RealElongatedMuskrat]

nah you're spot on! My friend's ex partner spent about 18 straight months threatening to kill her and her family and then himself if she didn't take him back, constant calls to her work, turning up on her doorstep and refusing to leave at 3am, sending "his people" to shine lights through her mothers windows at night. She had texts, audio, video to prove him doing this and the police said "yeah but he's not actually DONE anything, just because he says he will doesn't mean he'll act on it." This man travelled 3 hours each way to harass her mother and her sister, who was a minor at the time. They legit don't care. (note, the ex said that the only reason he didn't end up killing my friend and her family is because it would prevent him from practicing medicine. He's now a paediatrician in London, isn't that lovely!).

RIP Matthew. I'd not heard of this case so thanks for bringing it to my attention. Really enjoying your content so far. I watched this early in the morning while making breakfast for my baby daughter (bad idea...) and it left me with a sad sinking feeling that this man's death could have been prevented. I wanted to say thank you for the funny bloopers at the end. They made me smile and lifted the mood a bit. Great work, from down here in Aus 🇦🇺

I was recommended your channel by someone claiming to be a good friend of yours online and I am so glad I went through with checking out your channel. You are the only true crime creator that focuses on the victims more than the killer, reminding people that those victims were loved ones, not just pawns in a sick persons game. I can't wait to see what cases you have in the future! Possibly even touching on Ivan Milat, a case here in Australia.
