A man who posed with his parents' Samurai Sword in a picture posted on Snapchat with the caption: 'Where's Tommy Robinson' has been jailed. The image shared by Mohammed Akhtar, 24, was seen by a handful on people on the social media platform before it was deleted in August of this year.

Akhtar had also sent messages to various WhatsApp groups where he threatened to 'smash up this white lot' and said he was 'going to sharpen that samurai' to 'take with me later'. He also wrote to 'shout me if it kicks off lol I'm just down the road'. The post came the day after an anti-far right gathering in Bordesley Green which resulted in disorder and arrests amid civil unrest sparked by false claims that the suspect in a triple child murder case was an asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat.

Three girls - Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven - were fatally stabbed at a Southport Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in July. Akhtar, who was described as 'intelligent' and well-educated told Birmingham Crown Court he had been 'showing off' with the sword, which was a blunt ornament given to his parents as a wedding gift 20 years earlier.
He said it was a 'silly mistake' and denied that he condoned violence, but admitted sending a communication threatening death of serious harm. Mohammed Akhtar, 24, shared the image online, which was seen by a handful of people. Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was in Cyprus when the image was posted.
