The father of an autistic man suspected of hacking into US government computer systems has said he fears his son may take his own life following a court ruling that said he will be extradited to America.

Lauri Love, who is from Suffolk, is accused of hacking into the FBI, the US central bank and the US missile defence agency.

His father, Reverend Alexander Love, said he 鈥渘ever envisaged that they would actually take him away from his family鈥�.

鈥淲hen I say I am convinced my son will take his life, I am absolutely telling the truth,鈥� he said.

In England, the maximum sentence for the crimes Lauri Love is accused of is two years and eight months, but in the US he could face up to 99 years.
