Oz court spares attacker of Indian

The judge said he accepted the victim’s account that as Comensoli and another man bashed Singh unconscious and called him an Indian dog and said shut up you Indian motherf—–,shut up,but there was insufficient evidence to conclude it was a race hate crime. This attack occurred during a spate of reported offences of violence against men of Indian ethnicity in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Sexton said,adding,I am satisfied that at the point in time when you were attacking Singh you hated him.

However,it is difficult to be satisfied to the same degree that your offence was wholly or partially motivated by hatred for Indian people in general, he said.
