(BBC) Two Islamic State extremists who planned the murder of an imam referred to him as “Voldemort” who was engaging in “black magic,” a public inquiry has heard.
The inquiry aims to establish whether intelligence failures contributed to the death of Jalal Uddin, 71, in February 2016.
Mohammed Kadir, then 24, is believed by detectives to have fatally struck father-of-seven Mr Uddin with a hammer.
The inquiry at Liverpool Crown Court heard Kadir, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, had been flagged by police as a “person of high risk” after he made extremist posts on social media six months before the attack.
