An Armagh chef convicted of launching an antisemitic “hate spree” at a Jewish couple’s wedding has denied making antisemitic remarks, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
Joseph Nixon was found guilty after an account of events at the wedding was heard in court. However, he said he had no idea the wedding was Jewish and rejected the allegation that he had targeted the couple because of their faith.
“It was just this one man’s word against mine and I know I didn’t mention Jews or Jewish”
The report identifies Nixon as an Armagh chef and says the case involved a Jewish couple’s wedding. It does not provide further details about the alleged incident, the court where the case was heard, or the sentence or next procedural step.
The Belfast Telegraph published its report on 9 November 2026.
