“I am here to kill the queen.” That was the phrase she said Jaswant Singh Chail when entering Windsor Castle armed on Christmas Day 2021. This Friday it has been declared guilty of three countsincluding treason, so it will be the first conviction for this crime in United Kingdom since the year 1981.
The police intercepted him that day – after entering the premises of the Royal House – armed with a crossbow. Isabel II was in these dependencies, where she spent the worst moments of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chail, 21, has also acknowledged to the authorities utter the threats and be in possession of the weapon. He has appeared in court by video link as he is currently admitted to a hospitalreports the BBC.
The defendant crossed the perimeter of the castle using a rope and was located by an agent who, in a first contact, asked him if he could “help” him. It was then that Chail proclaimed his attempted regicide, which he repeated already kneeling and with his hands on his head, offering no resistance.
Subsequent examinations found that the crossbow was loaded and the safety off.
