The British National Party (BNP) have claimed that police were to blame for the murder of abducted teenager Kriss Donald, in Glasgow this week.
Mr Nick Griffin, leader of the neo-fascist party, made the claim as he was travelling to Glasgow where it is thought he will visit the area where the youngster was abducted.
He claimed the 15-year-old would still be alive if police had listened to concerns the party raised about racial tension in the area two years ago.
The victim was bundled into a car by a gang described as Asian near his home in Pollokshields on Monday.
Early the next day, his body was found dumped behind a Celtic supporters' club in the city's east end. He had been beaten to death in an attack which police described as "brutal and senseless".
There have been concerns over increased racial tensions in the multi-racial community in the city's south side, and critics have accused the BNP of exploiting the youth's death.
Despite officials in Glasgow, as well as First Minister Jack McConnell, saying the party was "not welcome", Mr Griffin is understood to be planning a visit to Pollokshields tomorrow.
Politicians and community leaders have united in condemning the proposed visit as "despicable" and the BNP as "sinister" and "poisonous".
Police refused to comment on Mr Griffin's claim. However a spokeswoman said: "People who are intent on causing trouble should stay away and leave the community of Pollokshields to recover from this tragedy."
Kriss's mother Angela Donald has also urged the public not to target the Asian community because of her son's death.
