THE EVIL murderer of hero policeman Stephen Oake could have had his mind filled with vile ideas of racial hatred by hook-handed cleric Abu Hamza - it was revealed last week.

For legal reasons links between the two were not allowed for publication - until now!

Security services said that it was "more than likely" that Kamel Bourgass, the man who murdered Poynton detective Stephen Oake, met Hamza - who was caged for seven years for inciting racial hatred last week - at the rebel cleric's Finsbury Park mosque.

Al-Qaida terrorist Bourgass bedded down at the mosque, in north London, when police discovered a poison factory in his flat.

The cop-killer used Hamza's preaching ground as a safe haven before fleeing to Crumpsall, Manchester where he stabbed to death DC Oake, 40, of Poynton, whilst trying to escape from justice in January 2003.

Days before the stabbing, police had discovered items related to bomb-making equipment and poisons in Bourgass' bedsit which in turn led to a raid on the Finsbury Park mosque.

Bourgass was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2004 for the murder of DC Oake and plotting to use deadly chemicals.
