A man who killed five people including his mother and a three-year-old girl was fascinated by mass shootings, serial killers and violent heroes of “incel” ideology, an inquest jury has heard. The jury also heard that Plymouth gunman Jake Davison expressed strongly misogynist views and despair about his own life in the months before he killed five people.
On the afternoon of the shootings, which ended when Davison turned his pump-action shotgun on himself, he viewed an online thread asking why “incels” felt the need to end their own lives and looked up posts on kidnapping and detransitioning, the court heard. During the second day of the inquests on Davison’s five victims, the jury in Exeter was shown a police video recreation of the shooting including footage of him walking around the streets of his neighbourhood in August 2021 holding his pump-action shotgun.
In July 2021, the month before he struck, he filmed himself talking about his “lack of success at dating apps, disillusionment of life and self hatred”. He referred to himself as the “black sheep” of the family and described his mother as very difficult to live with. He expressed views that he had missed out on relationships, describing himself as “a virgin … fat, ugly” and at another point said: “I like to think sometimes I’m the Terminator or something.” Also in July he looked up the 1987 Hungerford mass shootings in Berkshire in which 16 people were killed.
Three days before the killings, he was searching for information about the US serial killer Ted Bundy and incel murderers, watched videos of firearms and how to use them and posted a clip from an online game called Kill Zone.
