A BNP candidate who built hangman's gallows for export to corrupt regimes has been charged with possessing explosives in suspicious circumstances. David Lucas has also been charged with owning an illegal weapon and ammunition with intent to endanger life.The 49-year-old, who stood for the far-right party in this year's European elections, was arrested when police swooped on addresses in East Anglia in April.
Lucas hit the headlines in May 2006 when he revealed that he was sending his gallows and £100,000 execution systems to countries such as Zimbabwe.
He said he stopped making them in July 2006 after the export of hangman's equipment was made illegal by an EU directive. But the death penalty campaigner still has a gallows complete with noose on show at his farm in Lakenheath, Suffolk."
