A ginger haired ‘extremist’ who allegedly wanted to kill Prince Charles has been accused of planning a terror attack by growing cyanide on shredded wheat.

A court heard that Mark Colborne, 37, wanted to shoot Prince Charles with a sniper rifle so that fellow redhead Prince Harry could ascend to the throne.

He is also accused of stockpiling equipment and ingredients to create the deadly chemical in his bedroom, along with spray bottles.

Poison handbooks entitled ‘Silent Death’ and ‘Assorted Nasties’ were found in Mr Colborne’s room in his mother’s Southampton home.

Chemical weapons expert Dr Christopher Timperley told the Old Bailey how the books suggested growing the mould needed to create the poison on ‘shredded wheat’.

When asked if the recipe found in the books would create a lethal amount of the toxin, Dr Timperly replied: ‘I would predict over 250 times the lethal dose, which is quite a lot of toxin.

‘If you so wished you could use a poisoning device.’

Colborne has admitted he felt ‘belittled by society’ due to his ginger hair and pale complexion, and even compared himself to ‘lone wolf’ terrorists Anders Breivik and Timothy McVeigh.

Notebooks belonging to Colborn were found in which he stated his hatred for non-Aryans, black people and even black-haired Caucasians.

The jury heard one entry which stated: ‘I want to perform strategic coordinated different attacks on the systems tyrants and tyrants in and around the septic island.’

Another read: ‘I will put a major dent in England, one that is felt around the world, if for some reason I cannot perform a major operation then I will still opt for low level attacks.’

He was arrested after his half-brother Kevin found the suspicious materials in his room and called the police.

The trial continues.
