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, is already 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.
'Following the events of Monday 29 July, searches of Axel Rudakubana's home resulted in an unknown substance being found. Testing confirmed the substance as ricin,' Chief Constable Kennedy said. '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.' Rudakubana will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court via videolink tomorrow in relation to the latest charges.
