The 18-year-old 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.
Southport stabbings suspect Axel Rudakubana has appeared in court after ricin and an al Qaeda training manual were allegedly found in a search of his home. The 18-year-old appeared at Westminster magistrates' court by video link from Belmarsh prison charged with the production of a biological toxin and possession of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism.
The fresh charges were announced at a police briefing on Tuesday, where officers said the latest alleged offences relate to evidence found in searches of Rudakubana's home in Banks, Lancashire, in the days after the attack. The first charge, under the Biological Weapons Act 1974, states that he produced a biological toxin, namely ricin, on or before 29 July.
