Leeds crossbow attack suspect wrote 'misogynistic' manifesto on Facebook
The Guardian
|April 30, 2025
The suspect in the Leeds crossbow attack wrote a manifesto on Facebook espousing plans for "terrorism, revenge and misogynistic rage" that referenced the 2019 massacre in New Zealand, police believe.
Owen Lawrence is suspected to have shot the women, aged 19 and 31, on Saturday in Headingley before turning a firearm on himself. Both women were taken to hospital, one of them with life-threatening injuries.
The manifesto, titled "the Otley run massacre", also cites "neurotypical" people as targets, as well as "humanity" and "human race".
In the social media post, the author says he has read the manifesto of the far-right mass murderer Brenton Tarrant, who carried out the massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019. Tarrant killed 51 people in and close to two mosques.
The Facebook post details the attack type as: "Mass murder, terrorism, revenge, misogynyic[sic] rage, homicide/suicide."
