Rise of 0 to 100 ’ killers who go from watching torture, mutilation and beheading videos to committing murder suggests there could be a link between extreme violence online and in real life.

Criminal justice experts advocate a new approach, inspired by counter-terrorism, to identify an emerging type of murderer with no prior convictions.

Jonathan Hall , the government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said there was a “new threat cohort” combining terrorists who were radicalised online and those who had “gone down a rabbit hole and into a dark world”.
