Cult Leader Jailed for Plot to Kidnap Essex Coroner
Mark Christopher and three others attempted to storm a court, accusing a coroner of necromancy, leading to their convictions and imprisonment.
- Mark Christopher, the self-appointed 'Chief Judge,' led a group called the Federal Postal Court in a conspiracy to kidnap Essex coroner Lincoln Brookes.
- Christopher and his followers, including former police officer Shiza Harper and her husband Sean, were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 30 months to seven years.
- The group attempted to 'shut down' the coroner's court in Chelmsford, armed with handcuffs and bizarre legal claims, but were thwarted when Brookes was not present.
- Victims, including Brookes and coroner Michelle Brown, reported ongoing trauma and fear for their safety following the incident.
- The group was found guilty of conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment, with Christopher also convicted of sending threatening communications.
