He also purchased equipment which he used to make deadly poison ricin.

Neighbours say Amazon “constantly” delivered parcels for him, leading to questions on how he could buy so much without anyone being aware.

When asked whether action will be taken against his parents, Det  Chief Insp Jason Pye said: “It’s a live investigation so we can’t comment.”

 Teens aged between 13 and 17 can have their own Amazon account, using shared payment methods.

Adults can set approval options for purchases and receive notifications for all orders.

Rudakubana was born in Cardiff in  2006 after his dad and mum Laetitia, 52, moved from Rwanda to the city.

The family, including his older brother, have been moved to a secret address.
