Ben Holt and Frederick Hookway appeared on behalf of the prosecution in a terrorism trial at Woolwich Crown Court before a High Court Judge. The defendant’s arrest interrupted his attempt to manufacture two 3D printed firearms. Analysis of his digital devices revealed his possession of manuals for the creation of homemade firearms and other explosives, together with ideological texts promoting far right extremism. He had shared some of these manuals and texts via his own Telegram channel which advertised itself to those with similar views. The defendant was convicted of various firearms and terrorism offences. Sentence was adjourned to November.
Ben Holt led Frederick Hookway and they were instructed by the CPS Counter Terrorism Unit.
