A 19-year-old who plotted a massacre at his former college has been jailed for life with a minimum term of eight years.<\/p>\n

Liam Lyburd was convicted at Newcastle Crown Court of possessing an arsenal of weapons including pipe bombs and a gun, with intent to endanger life.<\/p>\n

The judge said his threats showed he was a significant risk to the public.<\/p>\n

In a deleted file recovered from his computer, Lyburd wrote: “People will die, there’s no question about that.”<\/p>\n

Jurors heard the “cold and detached” teenager held a grudge against his former college after he was kicked off his course for bad behaviour.<\/p>\n

Lyburd, of Hamilton Place, Newcastle, said had not intended to hurt anyone at Newcastle College.<\/p>\n

Police found a cache of weapons, a “kill bag” containing overalls, a mask, boots and pipe bombs at his home after they were tipped off by a member of the public concerned about his Facebook postings talking about launching a murderous attack.<\/p>\n

The bag also contained a Glock pistol and 94 hollow-tipped expanding bullets.<\/p>\n

Officers recovered webcam pictures Lyburd took of himself dressed for combat, armed with the pistol and brandishing a knife.<\/p>\n

In the deleted file he said: “You people ruined my whole life, don’t expect me to show mercy today. No-one disrespects me and gets away with it.<\/p>\n

“I’ll teach you people a little lesson on respect with my 9mm jacketed hollow points.”<\/p>\n

Newcastle College<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The main campus, Rye Hill, is located within a mile of the city’s central train station, St James’ Park football ground and a number of shops, homes, hotels and businesses<\/li>\n
  • The college has more than 20,000 students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Det Supt George Duff, who led the investigation, said Lyburd was a “dangerous man who intended to cause serious harm”.<\/p>\n

    “He at no point has shown any remorse for what he intended to do,” he said.<\/p>\n

    Judge Paul Sloan QC commended the member of the public who alerted police to Lyburd’s behaviour.<\/p>\n

    He told Lyburd that, if they had not, “it was only a matter of time before you would have put your plan into action”.<\/p>\n

    “Your emotional coldness and detachment and your lack of empathy to others was self-evident,” he said.<\/p>\n

    \"Images<\/span><\/figure>\n

    Lyburd was warned the psychiatric evidence suggested it might be a “very long time indeed” before he is considered safe enough to be released.<\/p>\n

    He laughed as he was taken away by police, telling officers they had saved lives and prevented what would have otherwise been a massacre at the college.<\/p>\n
