Sword murderer had social media peppered with far-right extremism and conspiracy theories
Published By admin
Marcus Arduini Monzo, the man responsible for a horror sword attack that killed 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin last year, has been found guilty.
The 37-year-old was convicted on Wednesday of carrying out a marauding attack, which included the murder of the teenager just yards from his home in north London on April 30 last year.
Monzo’s online profile revealed a disturbing fascination with violence, conspiracy theories, Incel ideology, and far-right extremism. His interests also extended to controversial figures such as Andrew Tate. He was also noted to hold a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
It can now be reported that the dual Spanish-Brazilian national, who was living in Newham, east London, had liked posts on X which praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Over a year, Monzo’s X account also liked references to various antisemitic conspiracy theories and misogynistic Incel material.
At his Old Bailey trial, Monzo had told jurors he believed the world was flat and that the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York was “probably” a conspiracy theory.
This flat earth belief was also reflected in various montages and memes on X.
One post stated: “How did I become a flat earther? I tried debunking it..”
Monzo responded to a news report on the flat earther epidemic by claiming on social media that this was a positive as it would spark curiosity over the issue.
In a reference to another conspiracy, Monzo posted: “I live in London. Here everybody will agree that the city is GREY. And the reason is BECAUSE they spray the sky ALL DAY, EVERY DAY”.
