7 years in jail for professor’s son who set up neo-Nazi cell
A UNIVERSITY student who founded a neo-Nazi group which called for Prince Harry to be killed for marrying Meghan Markle was jailed for seven years yesterday.
Andrew Dymock, 24, founded white supremacist groups including the Sonnenkrieg Division, which created a disturbing poster of the Duke of Sussex set against a swastika with a gun pointing at his head.
The privately-educated son of two academics, Dymock called for a ‘racial holy war’ on ethnic minorities and worshipped Hitler — once carving a swastika into his girlfriend’s buttock with a nail.
He showed little emotion in the dock of the old Bailey yesterday as Judge Mark Dennis QC told him: ‘You are intelligent, well read, very articulate and motivated but a wholly misguided individual who, despite all the advantages of a good education and family upbringing chose at the age of 20 to take the path of dreadful bigotry, intolerance and hatred towards other members of our society solely on the basis of their race, creed or sexual orientation.’
The politics student from Bath, Somerset, waved goodbye to his father Dr David Dymock, a professor of dentistry at Bristol University, and his mother Stella, a microbiologist, as he was taken down to the cells. At the end of his trial last month he told jurors ‘thank you for killing me’ after he was found guilty of 15 charges, including 12 terror offences.
While studying politics at Aberystwyth, the middle-class undergraduate established a series of virulently racist and anti-Semitic websites which he used to encourage lone wolf terror attacks. In 2017, he founded a succession of groups – Vanguard Britannia, System Resistance Network and Sonnenkrieg Division.
one of his associates, oskar DunnKoczorowski, 18, was responsible for a poster suggesting that Prince Harry should be shot for marrying someone of mixed race which was captioned: ‘See ya later, race traitor!’
He was jailed for 18 months in 2019. But Dymock held similar repugnant views, creating his own poster featuring swastikas which read: ‘Rape the cops’.
Another poster saved to Dymock’s USB stick read: ‘Refugee Scum, F*** off! Keep Britain White! Join your local Nazis.’
There was also an article welcoming in shocking terms the killing of the MP Jo Cox by a political extremist in 2016.
In another 2017 article entitled, ‘Homosexuality: The Eternal Social Menace’, Dymock stated gay people ‘are simply degenerate’.
The old Bailey heard that the student had sent his parents messages about his support for fascism, although there was no suggestion of any wrongdoing on their part.
Dymock was arrested in 2018 at Gatwick Airport as he tried to board a flight to America where counter terrorism police believe he was planning to visit a notorious neo-Nazi.
officers found in his luggage extreme Right-wing literature including Mein Kampf, along with clothing bearing neo-Nazi logos. Dymock claimed the material was part of research for his politics dissertation on the rise of modern nationalism and suggested bomb-making manuals were downloaded because he had earlier been studying chemistry.
