‘Breivik fan’ arrested for plot to kill princes

A WHITE nationalist was convicted of plotting to kill Prince Charles yesterday, to enable his son Harry to become king.

Mark Colborne, 37, likened himself to Norwegian fascist terrorist Anders Breivik and said he would launch a gun attack “for the Aryan people.”

He bought ingredients for deadly poison cyanide over the internet, stockpiling dust masks, metal filter funnels, plastic syringes and latex gloves, jurors were told.

But Mr Colborne was arrested in June after his half brother uncovered chemicals and papers detailing his racial hatred stashed in his bedroom at the family home in Southampton.

The court heard the convict felt alienated and marginalised for being a white, ginger-haired man and also suffering from agoraphobia and depression.

In notebooks found in his “very cluttered” bedroom, Mr Colborne observed: “I would sacrifice my life for that one shot. Kill Charles and William and Harry become king. Kill the tyrants.”
