Giving evidence on Monday, September 29, Candiani told jurors he developed an interest in Satanism after he began a theatre studies course at the Brit School of Performing Arts. Ms Dummett asked Candiani whether he accepted that, between February and August 2024, he also had an interest in extreme right-wing terrorist attacks. I was interested in O9A satanic ideology, this aspect of demons, this world beyond our world, the devil, the occult in general. He told jurors he was interested in true crime and serial killers but denied having an “obsession” with extreme violence. Earlier, Candiani accepted that he had a tattoo on his chest bearing a neo-Nazi symbol 88 – meaning Heil Hitler.
