00:32cheerful and engaged the officers in conversation. You asked if the local schools were locked

00:39down. You made no comment in interview, but later gave a mental health nurse who was assessing

00:47you in custody some further details, including that you had planned for a year to kill 34

00:55people, ending in your own suicide. 30 of them were to be school children aged four

01:01or five.

01:16unfeeling son whose only wish was to be famous through destroying the lives of young children.

01:22You intended to unleash disaster on the community of Luton. Your plans were intelligent, calculating

01:30and selfish. Your ambition was notoriety. You wanted to be known posthumously as the

01:38world's most famous school shooter of the 21st century. The lives of your own mother

01:45and younger brother and sister were to be collateral damage on the way to fulfil your ambition.
