TikTok migrant who gave a step-by-step guide on how to cross the Channel 'filmed a how to kill your wife rant weeks before boarding small boat to Britain'

Daily Mail​11 hours ago
A TikTok migrant who shared a 'step-by-step guide' on how to cross the Channel 'filmed a how to kill your wife rant weeks before boarding a small boat to Britain'.
Parwiz Hanifyar, known online as Alexandra420, shared videos of his journey on TikTok and gained nearly one million views as he boasted about entering the UK illegally.
Mr Hanifyar, who left Calais at around 4am on Saturday, even shared videos of himself on the small boat before live streaming in an asylum hotel.
There, he told followers he was in 'the best place' while broadcasting from his free accommodation near Heathrow Airport.
Now, it has been alleged that the TikTok migrant was reported to police for telling men how to kill their estranged wives in a social media clip filmed just weeks before he crossed the Channel, the Sun has reported.
Speaking to his 70,000 followers from Germany, the Afghan, aged in his 20s, is said to have urged viewers to drink alcohol before attacking the women in a deliberate bid to get a softer sentence.
In a disturbing clip in which he told viewers they 'must do this technique' using a household item, he said: 'Before I kill her, I drink a bottle of alcohol.
'When the police comes, they say, he was drunk.'

Popular TikTok influencer Lemar is said to have been one of several individuals who reported the disturbing posts to the German authorities.
However, Mr Hanifyar, who reportedly lived in Berlin for three years, then went on to relocate to France and later travelled to the UK.
In response to the shocking video, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp described the language used by the migrant as 'sickening'.
Adding that Mr Hanifyar posed a threat to the UK, Mr Philp demanded that he be arrested and deported as a matter of urgency.
Mr Hanifyar first sparked outrage after sharing a video of himself grinning in an orange jacket and pointing to the sky.
He then showed the boat as it was surrounded by huge freight ships, set to the theme tune of US drama Prison Break.
The migrant was one of more than 400 arrivals on Saturday and was taken in by Border Force officials to be processed in Kent.
He was then taken to the four-star Crowne Plaza Hotel near Heathrow, where he started live streaming to his followers.
In the live stream, he gave viewers a tour of his room, with two single beds and an en suite bathroom.
He said: 'This is dedicated to those haters who were happy thinking we either drowned or ended up dead.'
Mr Hanifyar later claimed the boat he illegally travelled on began to deflate halfway through the journey and would have sank if Border Force officials had not rescued them.
He said: 'It was dangerous. Our boat sank. It was punctured. The water came from the inside of the boat.
'On the other side, three people pumped the water. If the British boats hadn't come in an hour, we would have been in trouble.'
Despite nearly facing serious danger, he encouraged others to pay the people-smugglers to risk the dangerous crossing.
He said: 'I risked my life, I spent my money, I came. Your country is not your mother.
'Those who want to come, this is the best place. Don't be stingy. Your country is not your father, that you are so stingy. Live your life.
'Tell your four friends to come. Why are you so stingy? Being stingy is not good for God. You see, I risked my life! Why don't you come? My wish was to come to this hotel and live. I came here just for this.'
It comes just days after a record 107 small boat migrants reached Britain in just one dingy, confounding Labour's pledge to 'smash the gangs'.
Images from the port of Dover showed human traffickers have begun to deploy a new, longer type of inflatable.
The dinghy - which can barely be described as a 'small boat' - was recovered in the Channel and taken to Dover, where it was being examined by Border Force and law enforcement, GB News reported.
It brought 107 migrants to Britain overnight, smashing the previous record of 96 people aboard one inflatable.
Meanwhile, the number of small-boat migrants reaching Britain under Labour passed 50,000.
Keir Starmer has been slammed for 'incompetence' over the handling of the Channel crisis, with the soaring figure a clear indication of the lack of a plan since he axed the Tories' Rwanda deportation scheme on his first day in power.
Former Labour home secretary Jacqui Smith blamed the Tories, claiming: 'What is happening is the result of the last government.'

The Government's 'returns deal' with France appears to have done little to deter those determined to get to Britain, with the latest total including more than 1,500 arrivals in the seven days since the 'one in, one out' scheme launched. Pictured: migrants cross the Channel on August 6, 2024
In response, Reform Leader Nigel Farage criticised the Prime Minister on social media.
He wrote: 'As I predicted five years ago, unless we deport illegal migrants the invasion will be huge. 50,000 since our weak Prime Minister took office and there is no sign of it stopping.'
The Government's 'returns deal' with France appears to have done little to deter those determined to get to Britain, with the latest total including more than 1,500 arrivals in the seven days since the 'one in, one out' scheme launched.
Official figures revealed there were 474 arrivals on Monday alone, bringing the total since the general election on July 4 last year to 50,271, despite the Prime Minister's promise to 'smash the gangs' behind the trafficking trade.
The milestone was passed seven months earlier than under his Conservative predecessor, Rishi Sunak.
Baroness Smith – who is now an education, women and equalities minister under Sir Keir – said: 'It is a completely legitimate claim to say that what is happening is the result of the last government that chose to focus on gimmicks with the Rwanda scheme.'
Labour scrapped the Tories' Rwanda asylum deal – designed to deter migrants from crossing – as one of its first acts, pledging instead to 'smash the gangs' by boosting law enforcement.
However, small boat numbers are soaring, with 27,029 arrivals this year, up by 47 per cent on the same point last year and 67 per cent on the same point in 2023.
Since the start of the crisis in 2018, 178,167 migrants have reached Britain, with only about four per cent of them removed.
The Home Office told The Sun that it does not comment on individual cases.
In a previous statement issued regarding Mr Hanifyar, a Home Office spokesperson said: 'It is our long-standing policy not to comment on individual cases, but we have made clear that it is unacceptable for any individual, whether they are a member of a smuggling gang or otherwise, to promote the criminal services of people-traffickers or for social media companies to allow it.
'We are introducing specific laws through our Border Security Bill that will make it easier to prosecute individuals who publish material online which promotes or offers services facilitating small boat crossings, and these kinds of cases show why it is so essential for that Bill to be passed through Parliament at the earliest opportunity.'
A TikTok spokesperson previously said: 'We take a zero-tolerance approach to content promoting human smuggling, this account has been banned and we remove the vast majority of content before it is even reported.
'Through industry-leading search interventions and close collaboration with the UK National Crime Agency, we work to identify and disrupt organised immigration crime online, adapting our efforts to meet evolving threats.'

UK supermarket offers new £1 incentive to shoppers

Supermarket chain Iceland is introducing a scheme to reward customers £1 for actively spotting and reporting shoplifters in their stores. Customers who alert staff to shoplifting incidents will receive the payment directly to their membership card. The initiative comes as Iceland faces an estimated £20 million annual loss due to shoplifting, which limits the company's ability to lower prices and pay staff. Richard Walker, Iceland's executive chairman, stated that shoplifting is not a victimless crime and impacts business costs. The move follows official figures showing that shoplifting offences recorded by police in England and Wales reached a record high of 530,643 in the year to March 2025.

American travel influencer reveals horror of learning stalker who turned up at her home with rope had fled UK to continue terrorising her

A travel influencer stalked by a British traffic warden who travelled to her home in Bali with rope in his suitcase has told of her two years of 'hell' trying to get police to take her case seriously. Alexandra Saper, 33, was tormented by a 'delusional' Rob Keating who sent 'incessant and constant' messages and videos in which he shared his graphic sexual fantasies including that he would 'go 50 Shades of Grey' on her and wanted to abduct her. He became obsessed with her posts on Instagram and booked a one way ticket to Bail, where she was living, while warning her to 'get kidnap insurance'. He was arrested and had his passport confiscated but released on bail and got a new passport and fled to Switzerland - a country which does not have a specific anti stalking law and continued bombarding her with messages and videos. Keating was only finally charged with stalking In November 2024 - two and a half years after she first reported him - when he posted photos of return flights to Bali with the caption 'round 2'. Ms Saper travelled to the UK to tell a court on Friday that victims of stalking have been ignored for too long. She said that after reporting Keating to the authorities, her account was 'diminished' and she was even told by one British police officer to 'get off' social media. American Miss Saper, a former corporate lawyer turned social media influencer, travelled to Portsmouth to deliver her message in person. But before she could speak Keating, 39, stormed out of the dock after declaring his trial had been a 'farce'. He is facing jail after being found guilty of two counts of stalking involving serious alarm or distress in May at Portsmouth Crown Court. At a hearing at the same court on Friday, Miss Saper pleaded for the consequences of Keating's stalking to be severe enough to protect other women. In an emotional victim impact statement she said Keating was allowed to roam freely while 'the burden' fell on her to 'hide, run, and relentlessly follow up with police'. She told the court: 'For months, I pleaded with the UK and US embassies, countless police officers across three countries, politicians, public figures, and the press to help me. 'I just wanted my life back, but he was still in my neighbourhood, roaming freely, searching for me. 'When he finally returned to the UK and was first arrested, his passport was confiscated and I felt momentary relief. 'But he was released two days later, and after I saw my case drop off and be forgotten, my emails to the department ignored, and no confirmation of any progress made in the investigation — I learned just how hard it really is for victims to get help. 'Only a few months later, he resumed stalking me and posting about me. He got a new passport and fled to Switzerland — a country with no anti-stalking laws — and continued sending messages, videos, and threats, explaining to me that in Switzerland he could evade arrest by the UK authorities, and maintain his access to me.' She said the police told her it was 'out of their hands.' It was months before he returned to the UK and the investigation was picked up again. Ms Saper said: 'In the two and a half years between when I first reported to the police and when they finally pressed charges, I have been forced to carry unreasonable burdens, navigate bureaucratic red tape, and muster resilience in the face of persistent obstacles to justice. 'My case was transferred between more than a dozen police officers and departments. Evidence was lost multiple times, or never passed on during transfers. Each time, it was like starting over. 'Rob even harassed the female officers assigned to my case, one of whom was removed for her protection; but after that, my case sat unassigned for months, and my emails to the police were left ignored, while he continued to freely stalk me and terrorise me.' She said it was only after he posted images of flights to return to Bali, photos and videos of me, and the words 'Round 2' that he was finally charged with stalking. Addressing her stalker, who had already left court, Ms Saper said: 'You should have never targeted me. When a woman blocks you it means No. I know I'm not the first but I hope I'll be the last.' After her statement was read to the court, the traffic worker's sentencing was adjourned for psychiatric reports. He will be sentenced in October. Speaking after today's haring, Ms Saper said police officers in both Indonesia and the UK 'diminished' her case. The blogger said she was subjected to 'victim blaming', adding: 'They were telling me, 'well just stop posting on Instagram'. 'The UK police, they told me to just get off Instagram. 'There were so many times where we'd leave a report and then not hear anything, follow up and there was no record of the report.' Ms Saper said her case was transferred from a Sussex police force to Hampshire police at one point, but only three pieces of evidence out of more than 200 were passed over. 'We didn't know for weeks and months, until there was a conversation where it became clear that we weren't talking about the same thing,' Ms Saper continued. 'That was horrific. That was outrageous. It was such an unnecessary delay that could have led to this case being dropped.' Keating sent Ms Saper, pictured, a video mentioning 'the Spartan Queen kidnap show' - a nickname he had given her - the court heard Rob Keating said a video in which he mentioned 'kidnap ' was just him being an 'idiot' Ms Saper said there were times where Keating would harass officers assigned to the case which would result in them being removed. The blogger said that this ultimately meant her case was 'abandoned' for months. Keating, who lived in his sister's garage in Havant, Hants, first contacted Ms Saper on Instagram in July 2022 with a 'weird and creepy' message to which the influencer responded 'dude, why are you following me if you don't like my content'. Ms Saper - a former lawyer who now makes money from her Instagram page 'The Wayfarer', which has more than 100,000 followers - blocked Keating on the social media platform after he shared extracts from the erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey. However, he then began bombarding her with videos and messages over email and used another profile to continue viewing her posts, which he believed were secret messages to him. The trial was previously shown over an hour of footage from these videos in which Keating told Ms Saper to get 'kidnap insurance' and that he was going to 'spank' her. In a video from December 2022, Keating said: 'You're going to have to reply to me eventually - there's talk about coming to Bali to get you.' In February 2023 he travelled to Bali, posting a picture of the plane he was about to board with the caption 'let the games begin'. He visited bars and restaurants just metres from her home and continued to message her, telling her 'you're never getting rid of me'. Ms Saper was so concerned that she fled to the nearby Southeast Asian country of Laos to put distance between her and Keating. On his return to the UK in March 2023, Keating was arrested by police who found black rope and a tie in his suitcase. Sussex police said that because the suspect lived outside Sussex, the investigation and 'almost 200 evidence items were handed over to Hampshire Constabulary' in March 2023. While on bail, Keating continued to stalk Saper. In November 2024 he posted a picture on his Instagram of a plane ticket from London to Bali with the caption 'Round 2'. Saper was alerted by one of her Instagram followers who monitored Keating's social media. She told police and Keating was arrested and charged with stalking. Giving evidence during the trial, Keating had tried to claim the kidnap threats were just 'playful ridiculousness' and that the ordeal had had 'no adverse effect' on Ms Saper. He said he was joking and did not think Ms Saper would take him seriously. Keating told police in an interview that he was not sexually attracted to Ms Saper, but said that 'she had shown an interest in him and there could be something there' between the two. He told the court he is a 'simp', internet slang for someone who shows 'excessive attention' to another person, and claimed he went to Bali to 'make himself available' for Ms Saper. Keating's explanation for the rope found in his suitcase was that it came from his camera kit, used to attach a microphone stand to a tripod. Responding to Ms Saper's criticisms, Detective Inspector Katt Green from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said: 'We take all reports of this nature extremely seriously. 'As court proceedings are ongoing and sentencing is due to take place on 9 October we cannot discuss detailed elements of this investigation at this time, however it's important to remember that our enquiries involved liaising with other forces and the logistics of engaging and supporting a victim who was abroad. 'There was also a prolonged period during 2024 when all parties involved were outside of the UK, which limited the enquiries that could be undertaken during this time. Charges were made in November 2024, which have led to these court proceedings.' Sussex Police have also been approached for comment.
