LONDON: A 51-year-old former British soldier was jailed for 10 months for racially abusing his women Sikh neighbours by calling them “ISIS slags” and “dirty Pakis”. Christopher Blurton was found guilty at a Derby Crown court after he was charged with racially aggravated harassment against two women neighbours in Manchester Street, Derby. The abusive man sent the two Sikh women a note complaining about the state of their garden, in which he claimed they were members of the ISIS, it said. Blurton initially denied racially aggravated harassment between June 28 and August 19 last year but was found guilty on Friday, Derby Telegraph reported.
