| Itay Kashti |
Three men have been sentenced to over eight years in prison for the kidnapping and brutal assault of Israeli music producer Itay Kashti in a remote Welsh cottage last August, a Swansea court heard last week.
Faiz Shah, Mohammad Comrie, and Elijah Ogunnubi-Sime lured Kashti, 46, to an Airbnb in Carmarthenshire under the guise of a music workshop before attacking and handcuffing him to a radiator. Judge Catherine Richards condemned their “abhorrent” crime, stating they targeted Kashti for his Jewish identity and presumed wealth.
Kashti, who suffered multiple injuries, described the ordeal as his “own personal October 7.” He managed to escape and call for help, leading police to arrest the attackers, who had fled into nearby fields.
The Community Security Trust (CST) confirmed the attack had an antisemitic motive, citing messages where the assailants invoked religious justification.
