4 cult members found guilty of plotting to kidnap Essex's senior coroner, believing in self-conferred legal powers.
A cult group found guilty of conspiracy to kidnap Essex's senior coroner, Lincoln Brookes, turned up at the court with handcuffs and demanded to know his whereabouts. Mark Christopher, 59, Matthew Martin, 47, Shiza Harper, 45, and Sean Harper, 38, planned to "shut down" Essex Coroner's Court and abduct the senior coroner in April 2023. The group believed they had self-conferred legal powers that could overrule the judicial system in England and Wales. All four were found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court of conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.
