A Ukrainian student has admitted murdering an 82-year-old man who was walking home from a Birmingham mosque.
Mohammed Saleem was stabbed by Pavlo Lapshyn in Small Heath on 29 April, less than a week after Lapshyn had arrived in the UK.
At the Old Bailey, 25-year-old Lapshyn pleaded guilty to murder, as well as plotting to cause explosions near mosques in Walsall, Tipton and Wolverhampton in June and July.

After his initial arrest for planting the explosive device outside a mosque in Walsall, he told police: "I would like to increase racial conflict."
When asked why he had targeted the mosque he replied: "Because they are not white - and I am white."
