A teen terrorist who plotted an attack the Isle of Wight Festival, has been moved from a young offenders institution – where he has attacked numerous officers – to a secure NHS facility.
18-year-old Nathan Alexander Ruth was just 15 years old when he was arrested by Counter Terrorism Policing South East in July 2022 following a tip-off from the FBI, which had identified alarming communications on Discord, Reddit and Instagram. He was later charged with multiple terrorism offences and remanded into youth detention.
Ruth researched ways to attack attendees at the 2022 Isle of Wight Festival, including using a fast-moving vehicle. When that was not possible, he turned his attention to a planned knife attack at a local special school, intending to target teachers. He was caught with a knife and a martyrdom letter in his rucksack on the day he intended to carry out the stabbing – 11th July 2022.
In April last year, Ruth was sentenced to 7 years behind bars and a 10-year terrorist notification requirement after being found guilty of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts, 3 counts of dissemination of terrorist publications, and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
He was also convicted of 8 counts of possession of an offensive weapon in prison, 4 counts of common assault, and 6 counts of common assault of an emergency worker.
Since his detention, Ruth has stabbed numerous guards and prison officers using improvised shivs, the Daily Mail is reporting.
Ruth previously resided at Feltham Young Offenders Institution.
More money being wasted on a low life scumbag, stick him on a small boat to float off and never be seen again.
Will only come back on another one and get put up in a
5 star hotel
Seriously, again? He’s British, born here and as I said before, mentally ill and suffering from psychosis, hence why he’s been assessed and transferred to a secure hospital unit.
Three meals a day with a roof over his head at tax payers expense.
Bring back the death penalty.
What? Then innocent people would be sentenced to death Peter Sullivan is very recent example, many more throughout our history. Death penalty never has been and never will be neither a deterrent or solution.
There are no deterrents anymore.
Nest deterrent take away their smartphones and
lock them up for 1 year and give them dry bread and
water only.
They won’t do it so fast again!
Worth a try, but I favour an old Hercules out over the North Atlantic in winter, and shove it out of the back door without a parachute. Should work equally well for those arriving in rubber boats.
Yep. But the do gooders and hand wringers say he has to be looked after because it is his right. You are better off being low life than you are decent these days, and he will still cause problems in the new place. He should be placed in a restraining jacket if he proves to be a danger to staff, but dear me, can’t do that can we, mustn’t upset the scum must we?
H
s should be put in broagmore
What is “broagmore” ???
