Six years for ‘terrorist’ teenager who planned to attack Edinburgh school

Felix Winter, aged 18 years, has been sentenced to six years in prison for Terrorism offences, at the High Court in Glasgow.

The court heard Winter committed the offences between June 2022 and July 2023, when he was aged between 15 and 16. Winter had made known to others ‘desire and plans to carry out acts of violence involving firearms, explosive devices and poison against pupils and teachers at the school’.

Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said: “This was an extremely complex and fast-moving investigation, and I want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the diligence and hard work of the officers who worked tirelessly to gather the evidence and bring the perpetrator to justice.

“The inquiry also underlines the advantages of working closely in partnership as part of the Prevent programme, which promotes early intervention through tailored, diversionary support to individuals who may be susceptible to supporting or committing terrorism to help keep our communities safe.”

  1. Six years in prison for edgy comments online. You have to be a legit retard to think to think that this person was capable of harming anyone. PREVENT is obsessed with autists and the mentally ill (see retarded women teachers and “experts” trying to warn us about “far-right incels” while covering for Islamic extremists).
