Lee Rigby murder: Adebolajo and Adebowale sentenced

One of the men who murdered soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London, has been ordered to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, drove into Fusilier Rigby with a car before hacking him to death in May last year.
Adebolajo was given a whole-life term; Adebowale was ordered to serve at least 45 years.

‘I tried to butcher Lee Rigby’ says Michael Adebolajo

The London-based Nigerian, Michael Adebolajo, who is accused of killing Lee Rigby, a 25-year old British military man has told a court in the country how he tried to decapitate his victim after the dastardly act, the Daily Mail has reported.
His description of how he knocked down the military officer and attempted to butcher him made the widow of Rigby run out of the court as she betrayed her emotion.
Adebolajo, 28 and Michael Adebowale, a 22-year old now at large, are accused of murdering Rigby by running him down with a car and then hacking him to death with a meat cleaver and knives near Woolwich Barracks in south east London on 22 May. The incident happened at Woolwich Barracks.
