Absconder planned to blow up Blackpool bank after Netflix documentary, court hears

Judge Flewitt said: “It was then you told them you had a gun and an improvised explosive device in your rucksack.”

A search revealed the explosive, which Joe Allman, prosecuting, described as a nail bomb, as well as a BB gun which had been painted black, a homemade shotgun and a kitchen knife.

The judge said: “At that point, you made the comment to one of the police officers you were going to blow up a bank you had seen on a TV show.”

Sentencing Murphy, Judge Flewitt said: “I have no doubt your plan, if carried out, would have put at risk the life of anyone who happened to be in or passing the car park when it exploded.”

Richard Littler KC, defending, said Murphy never intended to put anyone’s life in danger.

Tom Snape, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Alan Murphy is a dangerous man who planned to carry out a terrifying bomb attack on a bank and its staff.

“It is fortunate officers attended that day and then acted swiftly to prevent Murphy carrying out his plan, which could have had devastating consequences.”
