After a mass stabbing during a dance workshop with a Taylor Swift theme in July, 18-year-old Lancashire resident Axel Rudakubana was already facing three murder charges and ten attempted murder charges.
Merseyside officers Chief Constable Serena Kennedy stated at a briefing today that the youngster is now facing two additional charges based on evidence gathered by officers during searches of his house following the incidents.
According to her, he is currently facing one allegation of “producing a biological toxin, specifically ricin, in violation of Section 1 of the Biological Weapons.
The possession of information “likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, contrary to Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000” is another terror charge against him.
The “Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual” PDF file is the subject of this claim, she continued.
The events of July 29, however, have not been deemed a terrorist incident by the police.
