'Please tell me that synagogue is burning to the ground if not, it's poor preparation,' Tristan Morgan reportedly told police when he was arrested.
On Friday, Tristan Morgan, 52, pleaded guilty to arson and terrorism charges at London's Old Bailey.
Told Morgan was having a psychotic episode at the time of the attack, the court remanded him to a psychiatric hospital, as per the UK's Mental Health Act. His attack occurred during the Jewish holiday of Tisha B'Av, a fast day that commemorates the destruction of the Second Temple. "We sincerely thank the local police for their brilliant response and for their thorough investigation and support since the traumatic events of last year," said synagogue president Richard Halsey.
