Worcester man appears in court on terror charges over distribution of alleged neo-Nazi literature

A 60-year-old man from Worcester accused of distributing neo-Nazi literature has appeared in court charged with terrorism offences.

Wayne Munden, of Carlisle Road, is facing eight counts of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred, and three counts of distributing a terrorist publication.

The charges span from January to October 2023 for publishing written material to stir up racial hatred, and from July 2023 to May 2024 in relation to distributing a terrorist publication.

Munden made his initial appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court today (January 29), where Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring described the charges as relating to "essentially neo-Nazi literature."

Dressed in a white Harrington jacket, Munden who has several face tattoos gave no indication of pleas to any of the charges during the brief hearing.

He was bailed and will next appear at the Old Bailey on 27th February 2024 for a preparation hearing on the court’s terrorism list.
