2nd alleged neo-Nazi charged with setting man on fire
Another alleged white supremacist has been charged with setting a Filipino man on fire as he lay sleeping on a couch in Vancouver two years ago.
The suspect, who was a teenager at the time, is charged with aggravated assault for the Oct. 10, 2009 attack. He joins Robertson de Chazal, 25, who was charged last week in connection with the incident.
The victim had fallen asleep on a sofa near Commercial Drive and 5th Avenue when he was set ablaze and sustained burns to his arms, neck and head. Witnesses reported seeing three men flee the scene.
Police believe both de Chazal and Miller are members of Blood and Honour, an international white power group formed in the 1980s. Its name was borrowed from the Hitler Youth motto, "Blut und ehre."
The neo-Nazi group is one of two white supremacist organizations on the RCMP Hate Crime Team's radar. Investigators believe it has about 15 members in the Lower Mainland.
Another suspected member, Shawn MacDonald, has been charged with three counts of assault in connection with separate incidents in 2008 and 2010 in which a black man, a Hispanic man and an aboriginal woman were attacked.
