Man guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage

Fayaz Khan, a 26-year-old man, has been found guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). The prosecution described Khan as "a dangerous man with an interest in firearms". The court heard that Khan had made threatening phone calls to Farage, stating that he would "kill" the former UKIP leader. The police later searched Khan's home and found a number of firearms, including an air rifle and ammunition. Khan was arrested and charged with making threats to kill and possession of firearms. During the trial, the court heard that Khan had a history of mental health issues and had expressed anger towards Farage's political views. The judge sentenced Khan to a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years, and ordered him to undergo a mental health treatment program. The case highlights the importance of addressing threats to public figures and the need for a balanced approach that considers both public safety and the mental health of the accused.
