Michael Adebolajo Named As One of The Woolwich Killers

The two men alleged to have murdered a soldier in Woolwich were known to security services, it was revealed today, as police swooped on a house in a Lincolnshire village. Officers swooped on the detached house as the name of one of the suspects was revealed on internet forums and Twitter as Michael Adebolajo, 28.

He has been identified as the alleged killer seen ranting on video shortly after the murder of the soldier in Woolwich. Michael Adebolajo, 28, and his unnamed accomplice are believed to have run down the off-duty British soldier with a Vauxhall Tigra as he walked back to the Woolwich Barracks at 2.20pm yesterday, crushing his body against a road sign. 

Witnesses said the terror suspects then 'hacked and chopped' at his body like 'crazed animals', before dragging his corpse into the middle of the road leaving a trail of blood. 

As they apparently tried to decapitate him they were chanting 'Allah Akbar!’ – an Islamic phrase meaning ‘God is great’ - and yelling 'this is what God would have wanted'.

A blood-soaked Adebolajo, who was still holding a number of weapons in his red-stained hands, then ranted on camera in a clear London accent saying: 'You people will never be safe' before telling a passer-by they had not fled because they were waiting to 'shoot the police'.

Police were today seen outside a £365,000 detached house in a Lincolnshire village where they raided a home where Adebolajo is listed as having lived in the past. There was no answer at the address believed to be that of Adebolajo's father, named by neighbours as Anthony Adebolajo.

 Mr Adebolajo, 56, is believed to be a trained nurse now working in a managerial capacity within the NHS.

Later in the morning, plain clothes officers, thought to be from the Metropolitan Police, arrived at the modern estate and the house and driveway was  sealed off with police tape. An officer at the scene described the property as a 'crime scene'.

Mr Adebolajo bought the property in 2002.

Riot police holding shields formed a cordon around the area as the EDL members waved flags and chanted 'no surrender to the Muslim scum', ‘Rule Britannia’ and ‘England’.

Leader Tommy Robinson addressed the crowd, saying:

'We have got weak leadership. They have allowed this to happen. People are scared to say the word Muslim. They are scared to offend them. ‘You know what? We are offended. People in this country are angry. They have had enough.’

They marched threw bottles at police before being dispersed by officers by 11pm.
