A man who thought he was a ‘Sith Lord’ and broke into Windsor Castle grounds to kill Queen Elizabeth II has been sentenced to nine years in custody. <br /> <br />Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, was arrested by police officers on Christmas Day 2021. <br /> <br />He was carrying a loaded crossbow and a metal ‘Sith Lord’ mask he’d had manufactured in preparation for the assassination attempt. <br /> <br />Chail also apparently had an AI chatbot ‘girlfriend’ who encouraged him to commit the offence. <br /> <br />Justice Hilliard, overseeing the sentencing, accepted that mental health and an Autism Spectrum Disorder affected Chail’s actions, but he still bore responsibility for the crime. <br /> <br />Chail was arrested by police officers on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Christmas Day 2021. <br /> <br />Jaswant Singh Chail pled guilty to the offence of treason. He is the first person in the UK to be convicted of treason since 1981. <br /> Report by Gracex. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
