Leeds terror suspect had 'praised Guy Fawkes for his use of gunpowder' and was later arrested

A terrorism suspect who is said to have taken his inspiration from gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes took his own life in Leeds prison soon after he was arrested by armed police.

The offences against him included that he encouraged terrorism on social media under the guise of the English Republican Army. A court hearing after his arrest heard that Hyland had "praised Guy Fawkes for his use of gunpower". Following his death, she had raised concerns about how Mr Hyland, who was in custody for the first time, may have struggled to cope after being moved from police custody to HMP Leeds as he "would not be able to cope in that environment". A relative had told her that while in prison Mr Hyland had been 'very agitated'."I think this was the final straw for Ben," she added.
