A SCHOOL caretaker accused of carrying out a letter-bombing campaign in Oxfordshire appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.
Miles Cooper, 27, of Cherry Hinton, Cambridgeshire, was accused of possessing explosive substances on February 19.
He had previously appeared in court facing 12 other charges. Seven of the original 12 charges were under the Explosive Substances Act 1883.
Two charges concerned letter-bombs posted to companies in Abingdon and Culham, and five related to letterbombs sent to addresses in Birmingham, Folkestone, Swansea, London, and Wokingham.
Five charges not under the Explosives Act were of causing actual bodily harm or grievious bodily harm to people who opened the bombs.
Cooper, a caretaker at Teversham Primary School, near Cambridge, was remanded in custody to appear at Oxford Crown Court on May 11.
