An 19-year-old man from West Sussex has admitted five charges, including one of possession of a document for terrorist purposes.

Cameron Finnigan, from Horsham, appeared at the Central Criminal Court on Friday.

He also pleaded guilty to an act capable of encouraging or assisting suicide, possession of indecent images and two counts of criminal damage.

He will be sentenced on 17 January.

At an earlier hearing the prosecution alleged Finnigan had been "preparing for an attack against a single homeless individual" who was living in a tent.
