Soldier charged with attack on Chelmsford mosque

The Chelmsford Weekly News reports on the pending court appearance next month of a man charged with criminal damage in relation to an attack on a mosque in Chelmsford.

Liam King, 22, a soldier, has been charged with one count of criminal damage and another of burglary and will appear before Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on April 9. Essex Police released CCTV images of the man wanted in connection with the incident last December after they were alerted to damage done to the mosque’s front door by local Muslims arriving for the early morning prayers.
