Two British Muslim fanatics have been found guilty of the murder
of soldier Lee Rigby in just 90 minutes today.
Fusilier Rigby, 25, was 'mutilated, almost decapitated and
murdered' by Michael Adebowale, 22, and Michael Adebolajo, 28, who ambushed him
outside his military barracks in Woolwich, South East London on May 22.
During their trial Lee Rigby's bereft family have been forced to
watch footage and hear gruesome accounts of the soldier being run down at 40mph
and hacked to death.
The jury, who will be offered counselling, left the courtroom at
11.10am and returned at 12.40pm to find them guilty of the Fusilier’s murder
but not guilty of the attempted murder of police
.
Adebolajo claimed they are not murderers because they are
'soldiers of Allah' at 'war' with Britain over its foreign policy. He kissed
the Qu'ran and smiled as he was found guilty. Adebowale showed no emotion.
They will both be sentenced next month.
West, the fiancée of murdered fusilier Lee Rigby and his estranged
wife Rebecca Rigby, right, cried as the family spoke of their torment
Fusilier Rigby's family broke down in tears as the verdicts were
given and Aimee West, his fiancée, stood alongside his estranged wife Rebecca
Rigby and sobbed outside the Old Bailey as a tribute to him was read.
Through Detective Inspector Pete Sparks, his loved ones said: 'No
one should have to go through what we have been through as a family.
'We are satisfied that justice has been done, but unfortunately no
amount of justice will bring Lee back.
'These people have taken him away from us forever but his memory
lives on in all of us and we will never forget him.
'We are very proud of Lee, who served his country, and we will now
focus on building a future for his son Jack, making him as proud of Lee as we
all are.
'Lee will be sorely missed by his siblings, nieces, nephew and all
of those who loved him.
'We now ask that we are left alone to grieve through our loss.'
