Violence-obsessed monsters plotting a “mass casualty attack” will be prosecuted for their sick conspiracies, ministers have confirmed. The Home Office is closing a loophole that currently allows fanatics without a political ideology to plan atrocities.

Family members or friends who know of plots but do nothing could also be arrested. This will mirror terrorism legislation. Officials said: “The Bill will criminalise planning a mass casualty attack, closing a clear gap in the current law by capturing cases where a lone individual undertakes preparatory steps towards a mass casualty attack without an ideological motive.

“This is not currently covered by existing conspiracy, attempt, or terrorism offences.

“By closing this gap, the Government will strengthen operational partners’ ability to disrupt the most serious threats posed by violence-fixated individuals, and to intervene before such plans result in real-world harm.

“The offence will contain appropriate safeguards to ensure the mass casualty offence captures only those who pose a genuine risk to the public.”

Southport monster Axel Rudakubana’s parents, Alphonse and Laetitia, knew their son was hoarding knives, had been making poison in his room and had a sick obsession with violence.

The twisted teen, then 17, killed three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29, 2024 and attempted to murder 10 others.

Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice de Silva Aguiar, nine, died after sustaining multiple stab wounds during the attack.

He had looked up information on the London bombings, the IRA, MI5, the war in Gaza, school massacres, the Libya conflict and dictator Muammar Gaddafi, a review into the Government’s counter-terrorism Prevent programme found.

A review found he asked, during an art class, why he was able to draw images of guns but not search them on the internet and then asked “can we have a picture of a severed head then”.

And he had a hitlist of three targets, two males and an unknown female, after allegedly being bullied at school.

The file stated he took a knife to school 11 times, researched school shootings in ICT lessons and bragged about watching violent videos on the internet.

And the Southport Inquiry chairman, Sir Adrian Fulford, in a scathing assessment, revealed how they ignored their son’s determination to carry out an attack.

The inquiry into the Southport atrocity concluded that the sick teen’s parents, police, mental health services, council chiefs and Prevent all failed to intervene properly, despite glaring signs of the risk Rudakubana posed.

The probe exposed how glaring gaps in the UK’s legislation for fanatics obsessed with violence.

And ministers will introduce new criminal offences to punish extremists creating and sharing material which “glorifies, trivialises or normalises serious violence”.

It comes as fears intensify young children are being exposed to beheading videos, fights and clips of war on social media.

Officials added that the National Security Bill “will enable law enforcement to disrupt individuals who are encouraging violence, and reduce the circulation and supply of this material online”.

“Gore sites (websites that host graphic and violent content such as cartel violence, beheadings or extreme animal cruelty) attract UK traffic.

“The top 24 gore websites, primarily in English, collectively have an average of 1 million monthly visits from the UK, with the most popular sites drawing up to 334,000 UK visits per month, with spikes around real-world violent events; audiences skew young and male.”
