Racist rant sends killer back to jail

A convicted killer was back behind bars last night after launching a racist tirade at a ticket inspector.

Moustachioed Charles Law was trying to avoid paying for a ticket when he was challenged by Zimbabwe-born Hilton Materke.

The 50-year-old grabbed the rail worker at Elstree and Borehamwood station in Hertfordshire last July and told him that a black man should not ask a white man for a ticket.



He said: ‘You’re a f*****g ******. You have no right to ask me for a ticket. You are a black man. I am white. You ******.’

Law, of Borehamwood, was found guilty at St Albans Crown Court of racially aggravated assault by beating, and remanded in custody until sentencing.

He was jailed for four years in 2002 after stabbing his brother to death.
