Hitler STORYTELLIN tattoo thug's murder threat

Far-right moron told cops he'd kill black man in cells

- ALEXANDER LAWRIE

A FAR-RIGHT thug who has a tattoo of Adolf Hitler on his arm threatened to murder a black man during a shocking racist rant at police officers.

Salvador Apellaniz, who also sports swastika inkings on his body, told two constables they would "find a black man dead' if he was forced to spend a night in custody after being arrested.

The Spanish national also told the officers "I hate blacks" and praised the Nazis during his outburst while waiting in a van outside an Edinburgh police station in November 2022.

Apellaniz, 32, denied making the "repugnant" comments and told a jury the officers had "misinterpreted" his words when he stood trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court this week.
