Adebolajo, 28, who also asked to be called Mujahid Abu Hamza during proceedings, from Romford, Essex, is also accused of Rigby’s murder, the attempted murder of two police officers, and possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used.
Rigby, 25, was violently attacked and murdered as he returned to Woolwich barracks in south London by both accused and they were arrested and charged by Uk authorities in what they said was a terrorist attack.
Both defendants appeared by video link and were seated during the pre-trial hearing and spoke only to confirm their identities and to enter their pleas to the total of six charges they face.
They will remain in custody until their trial which the judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, has scheduled to begin on 18 November at the Old Bailey.
I guess it was their shadows that perpetrated that violent attack in broad daylight. SMH!
