Jamie Bunter has been locked up indefinitely and will serve at least 12 years for a racist shotgun attack on a man in Mitcham, south London. The victim was attacked simply because of the colour of his skin and his life was saved only because a faulty cocking mechanism prevented the cartridge from exploding. Bunter was found guilty of attempted murder, robbery and firearms charges. He was with two other men at the time of the attack and they were armed with a .410-calibre double-barrelled sawn-off shotgun, a loaded revolver and a knife.
