At a run-of-the-mill pub in Warrington in July 2017, Jack Renshaw unveiled his twisted plot. The white supremacist planned to murder MP Rosie Cooper and Det Con Victoria Henderson, who was investigating him for child sex offences.
Sitting around the table at The Friar Penketh, a year after the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox, Renshaw told his associates he planned to buy a replica Roman sword and cut the throat of the two women. He would then take hostages in a pub and attempt 'suicide by cop'.
Renshaw, who was once the face of the BNP Youth, had a captive audience with members of the banned right-wing group National Action. But one man was there to betray him.
