Attack suspect ’became obsessed with Muslims after watching Rochdale drama’

The man accused of carrying out the Finsbury Park terror attack was a "ticking time-bomb" who became obsessed with Muslims after watching a drama based on the Rochdale grooming scandal, a court heard.

Darren Osborne, 48, is said to have made racist comments about all Muslims raping children and being capable of blowing people up after watching the BBC drama Three Girls, based on the testimony of Rochdale victims.
