Nazi regalia has been found at the home of the man suspected of killing MP Jo Cox, it was reported on Friday.
Tommy Mair is being questioned by police after he was arrested near where the politician was shot and stabbed in a horrific daytime attack yesterday.
His links to far-Right groups have come under the spotlight today after claims emerged he ordered a homemade gun manual from a Neo-Nazi group in the US.
It has now been claimed that police who raided his home in Batley yesterday found Nazi memorabilia as well as far-Right literature.
The reports, attributed to sources by The Guardian newspaper, would add to the theory that the attack was politically motivated. Mair was said to have shouted ‘Britain First’ or ‘put Britain first’ as he launched and attack with a gun and a knife in Birstall near Leeds yesterday.
The nation’s grief over the killing came as new details emerged about Mair, a gardener who has lived in Batley since he was young and was described by locals as a ‘loner’.
According to US-based civil rights group, the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC), Mair was sent an invoice for £430 ($620) worth of books by the National Alliance, which was a white separatist movement until it ceased operations as a membership organisation in 2013.
