Crown Prosecution Service announced On Tuesday, Rudakubana was charged with producing a biological toxin (ricin) in contravention of the UK’s Biological Weapons Act.

He is also accused of possessing Al Qaeda’s training manual, contrary to the anti-terrorism law.

He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

“Axel Rudakubana currently faces three charges of murder, 10 charges of attempted murder and a charge of possession of a knife, all relating to the incident in Hart Street, Southport,” said Sarah Hammond, of the CPS.
