Man viewed extreme Isis content before Reading knife attack, court hears

A man who stabbed three people to death in a minute in an alleged terrorist rampage had viewed material about a notorious Isis executioner, a court has heard.

Khairi Saadallah murdered three men in a park in Reading on 20 June as they enjoyed a summer’s evening.

A hearing at the Old Bailey to determine if the attacks were terrorist acts and therefore subject to a higher sentence, was told that Saadallah viewed extremist material in the days before the attack and had a longstanding interest in extremism.
