Cowell had a long criminal record, at 18 beating and up a man and punching his daughter, in another 5 times afterwards and fare beating four days before the stabbing (4)
A week later, officials don't have enough evidence to black claims it was anti-black hate crime as Cowell's family released a statement that said he had been struggling with mental illness. The victim's family members feel the murder should be considered a hate crime regardless of proven cause(5)
Alternative theory: Similar to Lubeck muslim bus stabbing case, Iranian has no religion or political motivation, claims mental illness, could there be a global connection in these attacks?
