A teenager has been jailed for life after he was found guilty of plotting mass murder at his former college.
During sentencing, the judge warned that "it was just a matter of time" before he would have put his murderous plan into action, had police not been tipped off.
During sentencing, the judge warned that "it was just a matter of time" before he would have put his murderous plan into action, had police not been tipped off.
Judge Paul Sloan QC said: "Hearing the evidence in this case was, to say the least, a chilling experience.
"It is clear from everything I have read that the level of danger posed to the public by you is high."
After setting the eight year minimum term Lyburd must serve behind bars, the judge warned him the psychiatric evidence suggested it might be a "very long time indeed" before he is considered safe enough to be released.It means the 19-year-old must serve at least eight years before he is even considered for parole.
Lyburd did not react when he was led away.
He was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court having admitted possessing the items and being found guilty of having them with intent to endanger life.
The judge said he was in no doubt that Lyburd would have carried out his planned attack had he not been caught.
Lyburd gave no reaction as the judge sentenced him and told him: "Your emotional coldness and detachment and your lack of empathy to others was self-evident."The court heard how he blamed the college for his “miserable life” and 'making him look a fool' and created a twisted "kill bag" containing pipe bombs he had made and a Glock semi-automatic handgun.
He also had 94 expanding bullets he had bought on the internet when they raided his home in Newcastle in November.
