Teenage neo-Nazis encouraged terrorism in group which threatened Prince Harry

Two teenage neo-Nazis are facing jail for encouraging terrorism in online messages - to a group which posted threats against Prince Harry .

Michal Szewczuk, 19, pleaded guilty to two charges relating to posts on social media site GAB between August and September last year.

He ran one of them, while the other was affiliated with the far-right group Sonnenkrieg Division.

Szewczuk, a Polish national, also admitted five charges relating to the possession of documents likely to be useful to a terrorist.

These included The Anarchist Cookbok and The Al Qaeda Manual.

Oskar Dunn-Koczorowski, 18, earlier admitted encouraging terrorism relating to the same account used by Szewczuk as well as another run by himself.
