(UTV|COLOMBO) – Australian Police are dropping terrorism charges against a NSW University student who was accused of plotting to assassinate the country’s politicians, with the Lawyer for the Sri Lankan national threatening legal action against the Police.
Mohamed Kamer Nizamdeen, 25, was arrested in August and accused of writing in a notebook about plans to kill former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his former Deputy Julie Bishop.
He was released on bail last month after Prosecutors conceded a handwriting expert could not prove he had written the notes in the notebook.
Police on Friday (19) dropped the charge of collecting or making documents likely to facilitate terrorist acts after definitive advice on the handwriting in the notebook was received on Thursday (18).
