A 28-year-old murderer was taken to London’s Old Bailey court surrounded by security guards, where he began giving evidence.
He
and Michael Adebowale, 22, are accused of murdering 25-year-old soldier
Lee Rigby in broad daylight as he walked back to his London barracks in
May 2013.
The
court has heard that the pair ran Rigby over with a car before
attacking him with knives. Adebolajo attempted to behead him with a meat
cleaver.
The defendant, who wore a black Islamic robe, added that he has never met members of the militant group.
The
trial heard last week that Adebolajo told police he and Adebowale
targeted a soldier because they believed this was “the most fair target”
in an attack aimed at avenging the deaths of Muslims abroad.
He
said that before the brutal attack on Rigby, he had attended
demonstrations organised by an Islamist group banned under British
anti-terror laws, but then realised the protests were “impotent rage”.
“In reality, no demonstration will make a difference,” he added.
The
defendant, who has asked to be called Mujaahid Abu Hamza in court, said
several times that he was a “soldier” and that he did not regret what
happened to Rigby.
“I will never regret obeying the command of Allah. That is all I can say,” he said.
He told police after the brutal attack on May 22 that he tried to behead Rigby because it was the most “humane” way to kill him, comparing it to halal butchery methods.
