Axel Rudakubana has already been charged with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder following the mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in July.
The teenager accused of stabbing three girls to death in Southport faces a separate terror charge after police said a biological toxin and an al Qaeda training manual were found in a search of his home. Axel Rudakubana, 18, from Lancashire, had already been charged with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder following the mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in July.
'We have worked extensively with partners to establish there was a low to very low risk to the public and I want to make that reassurance clear today.' Ricin was confirmed to have been found at Rudakubana's home after scientists from the government's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory carried out tests on the evidence.
