British neo-Nazis who named son after Hitler guilty of terror offence
- Couple who named child Adolf belonged to a banned group and were charged along with several other members during a trial in Birmingham
A couple who gave their son the middle name Adolf in honour of Hitler were on Monday convicted of being members of a British neo-Nazi terrorist group.
Adam Thomas, 22, and his Portuguese-born partner, Claudia Patatas, 38, from Banbury in south England, were charged along with Daniel Bogunovic, 27, from Leicester in central England with being members of banned group National Action (NA).
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court in central England reached a unanimous verdict after being shown photographs during the four-week trial of Thomas wearing Ku Klux Klan robes while holding his baby.
Thomas claimed the photographs were “just play” but also told the court he was a racist.
He was also found guilty of having a terrorist manual on his laptop that gave advice on home-made explosives including a “soft drink can bomb”.
