The teenager pleaded guilty to having a butterfly knife, a stun gun, a baton and crossbow at his home last November. He also admitted having information on those who went on to commit acts of terror.

Yesterday the youth, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, appeared at the Old Bailey where Judge Rebecca Trowler KC ordered he be detained for 18 months with a further year on licence.

The court heard how the teen, who has autism, had developed an interest in mass attacks and wanted to carry out copycat killings, as he acquired a hoard of weapons.
