Man who praised Samuel Paty murder found guilty of terrorism offences

From the BBC

A man who posted an image of a terrorism victim’s severedsevered head on Twitter, urging others to decapitate those who insult Islam, has been found guilty of encouraging terrorist acts.

Ajmal Shahpal also praised the killer of French school teacher Samuel Paty for being “as brave as a lion”.

The 41-year-old, of Birkin Avenue in Radford, Nottingham, was convicted after a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

After the verdicts, Judge Melbourne Inman KC rejected a bail application and remanded Shahpal in custody.

The judge told him: “. . . a custodial sentence is inevitable for this type of offence In the circumstances therefore, you will be remanded in custody pending your sentence.”

He is due to be sentenced on 13 April.
