A CRAZED gunman who slaughtered five people including a child in a bloody rampage has been revealed as a "virgin incel loner".
Jake Davison, 23, moans about how he is "getting uglier" each year and said he was "defeated by life" in chilling YouTube videos.
The crane operator shot himself dead yesterday after gunning down a woman, believed to be his mum, in Plymouth.
Davison also killed a five-year-old girl, a second woman and a male bystander during the horror.
His YouTube page has revealed the mass-murderer as a rambling gun nut who follows the "Incel" movement.
He likes Incel TV - an online support group for "involuntary celibates" that is linked to male supremacy and misogyny.
Incels believe they have no possibility of finding a partner to get love, validation or acceptance from.

Before signing off, he said: "I know it's a movie but I like to think sometimes I'm the Terminator or something. Despite reaching almost total system failure he keeps trying to accomplish his mission."

PLYMOUTH SHOOTING SUSPECT DESCRIBED BEING 'DEFEATED BY LIFE' IN VIDEO BEFORE MASSACRE
The suspected Plymouth gunman spoke of being "beaten down" and "defeated by life" in videos posted online just weeks before the massacre.
Jake Davison, who posted on a YouTube channel under the name Professor Waffle, said he did not have "any willpower to do anything anymore" in a recording dated July 28.
He also "liked" a series of videos about guns, and shared posts on Facebook quoting former American president Donald Trump as well pictures of a statue holding a firearm with the US flag in the background.
In an 11-minute video, which appears to be the last posted before Thursday's incident, he refers to difficulties meeting women and struggling to lose weight, as well as saying that, after working in scaffolding when he was younger, he was "never ... the same again" after injuring his ankle.
He said: "I just don't have any willpower to do anything anymore", later adding that he was so "beaten down and defeated by f****** life".
