Walking free?

It seems that former Combat 18 leader Will Browning continues to have a charmed life. Yesterday he walked free from Southwark Crown Court after a hung jury failed to reach a verdict in his trial for incitement to racial hatred.

Browning, who led the nazi terror group in the late 1990s and was behind at least two attempted bombing campaigns, was on trial with schoolboy friend Jon Denny-Mallen, a tattooist from Jersey. Denny-Mallen was cleared by the jury.

Browning told the court that he had left C18 after Chris Castle was murdered by former C18 leader Charlie Sargent. Although he did eventually drop out of the group, he has performed with his nazi band No Remorse on the continent.

He will now have to wait until 7 December to hear whether he will be retried or the case will be dropped.
