Gunman who killed 10 said Sadiq Khan was ‘Muslim invader’ in vile manifesto
A WHITE supremacist accused of killing ten people in a US supermarket rampage called for the murder of Sadiq Khan – branding him a ‘Muslim invader’ in a chilling 180-page manifesto.
Payton Gendron, 18, live-streamed the sickening shooting spree at a store in Buffalo, New York state, on Saturday in which he targeted mostly black shoppers and left ‘bodies everywhere’.
The teenager allegedly used an automatic weapon covered in handwritten racial slurs including the n-word, shooting 13 shoppers – 11 of whom were black – before surrendering to police.
Authorities said the massacre was motivated by ‘racial hatred’.
Gendron, of Conklin, about 200 miles south-east of Buffalo, appeared in Buffalo City court on murder charges hours later. He pleaded not guilty.
For at least two minutes, he broadcast the sickening shooting on streaming platform Twitch in which he appears to calmly target people as they cower behind shelves.
It is believed he published a disturbing manifesto online before arriving at the busy Tops Friendly Market in military
‘Ideal start to the white rebirth’
fatigues, a bullet-proof vest and a helmet camera.
The document, circulated widely online, purports to outline the attacker’s racist, anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic beliefs, including his desire to remove all nonwhites from the US.
He repeatedly refers to the UK and in one section, entitled ‘Kill high-profile enemies’, he calls for the London mayor, whom he describes as an ‘ethnic replacement’ of British people, to be killed. He claims Mr Khan, who visited the US last week, is a ‘Muslim invader’ and his murder would be an ideal start to the ‘white rebirth’.
He offers ways to kill the mayor including the use of explosives delivered via drones or ‘rammings with cement trucks’. The manifesto adds: ‘Sadiq Khan, the current mayor of London at the time of writing, is an open sign of the disenfranchisement and ethnic replacement of the British people in the British isles.’
He also calls for the murder of billionaire holocaust survivor George Soros, 91, and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The document, whose authenticity has not yet been confirmed, states it is written by Gendron who admits to being the ‘sole perpetrator of the recent shooting’. He insists he is ‘perfectly sane’.
He also discusses the ‘rape of European women by invaders’, referencing the UK and providing links to 15 rape cases in London.
He claims the notorious Rotherham exploitation scandal is the tip of the iceberg of attacks by ‘non-white scum’. It also said he drew inspiration from the man who killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.
Investigators said the gunman had travelled to Buffalo the day before the attack, having researched local demographics looking for places with a high concentration of black residents.
Among the victims were security guard and retired police officer Aaron Salter, 55, as well as three women – Katherine Massey, Roberta Drury, 32, and grandmother Pearl Young, 77 – who had been buying groceries.
Last night it emerged Gendron had undergone mental evaluations after threatening a shooting at his school last June.
