The ex-Bristol City player from Cardiff ranted at a group of women in an incident filmed and later reported to police\"FormerFormer Wales under 19 footballer Elijah Chilekwa, 27(Image: WALES NEWS SERVICE )<\/p>\n

Ex-Wales-under 19 football player, Elijah Chilekwa, was recorded threatening women on a train, telling them: “I’ll kill you. I’ll kill your boyfriend.”<\/p>\n

Mobile phone footage shows the 27-year-old making threats to female passengers. The former Bristol City player told one woman, “I’ll kill your boyfriend”, as his friends urged him to stop.<\/p>\n

It’s been reported that the women had refused to say who they found most attractive of the group of men, prior to the incident on May 18.<\/p>\n

Chilekwa then launched into his tirade on the service between Cardiff<\/a> Central and Swindon. An appeal was put out for witnesses after the incident was reported to police.<\/p>\n

The former footballer is heard to say in the footage: “I’ll kill you. I’ll kill your boyfriend. I’ll follow you. I’ll follow you to your house. I’ll follow you to your boyfriend’s house, I’ll kill your boyfriend. Whatever.<\/p>\n

“If those two girls want to move, you can go. I’m not going to f***ing stop you from going.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I’ll see you about in the morning. Calm, calm. Ring your boyfriend, calm yeah. If that’s how you want to play with things.”<\/p>\n

British Transport Police later arrested the dad-to-be and Zambian-born Chilekwa, of Cardiff, admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm, or distress when he appeared before magistrates in Reading.<\/p>\n

During his career the right-winger scored for Wales under-19s on his debut but his career did not take off as he hoped. He now regularly plays for Cardiff Corinthians, having earlier left Bristol City for Worcester City.<\/p>\n

It’s reported that he’s now working as an electrician.<\/p>\n

Reading magistrates fined him \u00a3769 and ordered him to pay \u00a3250 in compensation.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, a British Police spokesman said: “There is absolutely no place for violent or intimidating behaviour on the railway network.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ex-Bristol City player from Cardiff ranted at a group of women in an incident filmed and later…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,30,188,4884,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-269186","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-courts","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114868350148426554","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
