PARENTS who 'named their baby after Hitler' have been found guilty of being members of a neo-Nazi terrorist group.

Adam Thomas, 22, and Claudia Patatas, 38, were convicted at Birmingham Crown Court today, Monday.

The court has previously heard how the couple gave their child the middle name Adolf, which the prosecution alleged was in honour of the infamous Nazi leader.

The Crown also claimed the couple have links with 'prominent members' Christopher Lythgoe, of Greymist Avenue, Woolston, and Matthew Hankinson, from Merseyside, who were convicted after trial in July.

During the opening of the case earlier this year, Barnaby Jameson, prosecuting, told jurors the couple were alleged members of National Action - a group 'so extreme and violent' it was banned by the Government in December 2016.

Mr Jameson said: "This case is about a specific type of terror.

"It is a terror that regards anyone who falls outside a cult of violent white racial supremacy as sub-human.

"Those that fall into the sub-human category are primarily blacks, Jews and Asians.

"Others in that category include gays, Communists and feminists.

"The cult had particular venom for female Labour MPs perceived as sympathetic to migrants.

"It is a terror that can be summarised in two words: 'White Jihad' - in other words, a white holy war.

"This terror was spread by a small cell of fanatics of whom you will hear a great deal."

A third defendant - a leading member in National Action's Midlands' chapter, Daniel Bogunovic, 27, of Crown Hills Rise, Leicester, was also convicted of being a member.

The jury of six men and five women is continuing to deliberate a charge that Thomas had a terrorist manual, namely the Anarchist's Cookbook.

Former Amazon security guard Thomas has also been convicted on a majority verdict of having a copy of a document likely to be of use to a terrorist, namely the Anarchist's Cookbook.
