Heer says that there were numerous images on Rudakubana's tablet devices relating to different wars and international conflicts, including in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Korea, Iraq and the Balkans.
This was in addition to violent images, including those of dead bodies, victims of torture, beheadings, cartoons depicting killing, violence and rape, or which insulted or mocked different religions - including Islam, Judaism and Christianity
"It was a very broad spread of material which provides a window into the defendant’s mind at the time," Heer says.
"It shows that he was fascinated with violence of an extreme nature, that he had obtained information on killings and how to kill and obtained weapons capable of killing."
