Shane Fletcher wanted to emulate Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who killed 13 people in 1999.

While on licence for the 32-month sentence he received in June 2016, he was placed on a government counter-terrorism programme but refused to engage with it.

As well as the Columbine pair, Fletcher was said to be obsessed with Dylann Roof, a white supremacist who murdered nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, and Cumbrian taxi driver Derrick Bird, who killed 12 people during a rampage in June 2010.Key evidence used against him was a diary found at his family home, which included one entry boasting that his home town would be"destroyed" and that he would"show no mercy" during his rampage.

Facebook messages between Fletcher and his"only friend" Kyle Dixon were subsequently recovered, which showed the defendant trying to persuade Mr Dixon to join him in the murderous attack. The court heard that Mr Dixon was a young man with"significant problems", who had suffered a brain injury, and that his initial enthusiasm happily petered out.Judge Patrick Field QC rejected the idea that the conversations were"no more than fantasy" and told Fletcher he was motivated by hatred, revenge and nihilism.
