The 18-year-old suspect charged with murdering three young girls and injuring 10 others in an unprovoked knife attack at a dance event in Southport, England, last summer will also face trial for manufacturing poison and possessing prohibited Islamist materials.
British law enforcement officials said they discovered a quantity of homemade ricin and a PDF file containing an Al Qaeda training manual while searching Axel Rudakubana’s residence shortly after his arrest on July 29.
Despite discovering the electronic document titled “Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants,” investigators have yet to classify the rampage as a terrorist incident.
The bloodshed resulted in weeklong anti-immigrant riots in August that spread across England and Northern Ireland after false internet reports claimed the Wales-born Rudakubana was a failed asylum seeker.
