THREE men, including two British soldiers, appeared in court yesterday charged with terror offences over their alleged membership of a banned neo-Nazi group.

Lance Corporal Mikko Vehvilaine­n, Private Mark Barrett and Alexander Deakin are accused of being part of National Action, a proscribed organisati­on.

They were allegedly all members of a chat group exchanging racist messages, including plans for a whiteonly Britain and a race war.

Vehvilaine­n, 32, who is based at Sennybridg­e Camp in Wales, and Deakin, 22, of Birmingham, made no plea when the men appeared at Westminste­r Magistrate­s’ Court. They were remanded in custody.

Barrett, 24, who is based at Dhekelia Garrison, Cyprus, pled not guilty. He was due to have a bail hearing later. A TEENAGE girl found dead in a park had adopted the identity of a boy.

Rhiann Milne, 14, changed her name to Zander on her Facebook profile and appeared to identify as male.

Her social media newsfeed suggested she may have been struggling with gender issues.

Disturbing­ly, it also contained several references to death.

A recent post said: “If I die, my mates better not post some cheesy s*** online like, ‘I know he’s watching over me.’

“Am I, f***? I’m in hell, you f ***** g melt.”
