A killer serving life behind bars in Cambridgeshire has seen another eleven years added to his sentence – after he attacked a Jewish chaplain
A judge called the attack last September by Joseph Gynane a “serious assault motivated by racial hate”.
Detective Constable Emma Purser, who investigated, said: “Gynane was already serving a life sentence for murder, but I am pleased he has now had his sentence extended by quite some time and has faced justice for his actions – which were shocking and despicable.
“The Jewish chaplain involved in this case was providing a valuable service and no-one deserves to be attacked in this way, with such strong violence – and especially not because of their religion.
“I hope this case highlights how seriously both police and the courts take offences of this nature, and serves as a deterrent towards anyone else thinking of committing the same behaviour.”
