A UK court on Thursday sentenced a 21-year-old British Sikh man to nine years imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to the country바카라s first case of treason in over 40 years, having scaled the walls of Windsor Castle on Christmas Day 2021 armed with a loaded crossbow to tell royal guards that he was there to kill Queen Elizabeth II.
Jaswant Singh Chail, who claimed he wanted to 바카라assassinate바카라 the late monarch as revenge for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar according to a social media video that emerged soon after his arrest, has been handed a 바카라hybrid바카라 sentence order to take into account his mental health issues.
During a televised sentencing hearing at the Old Bailey court in London, Justice Nicholas Hilliard ruled that Chail must remain at Broadmoor Hospital, a high-security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire until he is considered fit to be transferred into custody.
바카라The act was conceived in 2021 when he was nPTIot psychotic and he went on to become psychotic by a process,바카라 the judge noted as he stated his reasoning behind the sentencing.
"The defendant harboured homicidal thoughts which he acted on before he became psychotic. His intention was not just to harm or alarm the sovereign 바카라 but to kill her," he said.
The judge explained that he had taken Chail's autism, psychiatric testimony over his mental health and guilty plea into account when deciding upon the length of the sentence, which could have been over 20 years behind bars.
The court heard how it was during a family visit to Amritsar in 2018 that he learnt more about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and decided to 바카라give his life purpose바카라 by avenging the killings by assassinating the late Queen, who passed away aged 96 in September 2022.
Last month during his trial, it emerged that Chail had written a letter to express his 바카라distress and sadness바카라 as an apology to the royal family and King Charles III.
According to court reports from the hearing, Chail바카라s 바카라strong family unit바카라 includes his father, a software consultant working in aerospace, his mother, a special needs teacher, and his twin sister, a university student.
Chail was said to be suffering from mental health issues and the threat to the late Queen was instigated by an artificial intelligence 바카라girlfriend바카라 named Sarai and inspired by his 바카라Star Wars바카라 fascination.
Earlier, he had pleaded guilty to an offence under Section 2 of the Treason Act, 1842; an offence of threats to kill contrary to Section 16 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861; and an offence of possession of an offensive weapon contrary to Section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953.
바카라He had made a video of himself stating his desire to harm the late Queen, which he sent to a group of contacts shortly before he was arrested. Further enquiries into Chail uncovered further evidence of his planning and motives. Evidence recovered by officers showed that he harboured ill-feeling towards the British empire for its past treatment of Indian people,바카라 a Met Police statement noted.
The Queen was in her private apartments at Windsor Castle at the time of Chail바카라s intrusion on the morning of December 25, 2021. Two officers saw the intruder within the grounds of the Castle and one approached him
He was wearing black clothing and a handmade metal mask and said to the officers he was there to kill Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Chail was carrying a crossbow loaded with a bolt, and the officers drew their Taser gun and arrested him.
The social media video which emerged later showed a masked man identifying himself as Indian Sikh Jaswant Singh Chail and saying he wanted to 바카라assassinate바카라 the Queen as revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919.
Under the 1842 Treason Act, it is an offence to assault the British Sovereign or have a firearm or offensive weapon in their presence with intent to injure or alarm them or to cause a breach of peace.
