Woolwich killers Adebolajo & Adebowale sentenced to life in prison


The two men who attacked a soldier, Lee Rigby, in May 2013 and hacked him to death in the streets in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London, have been sentenced to life in prison. Michael Adebolajo, 29, was given a whole-life term, while Michael Adebowale, 22, was jailed for life with a minimum of 45 years.


Shocking: A blood-drenched Michael Adebolajo (pictured) told witnesses in a video his attack on Drummer Rigby was an act of revenge - 'an eye for an eye'

Daily Mail reports that the British-born men began shouting  'Allahu Akbar' and 'You (Britain) and America will never be safe' during their sentencing at the court in Central London today. 
They both claimed that they were ‘soldiers of Allah’ and were motivated by the plight of Muslims abroad to carry out the killing, and have shown no remorse.

They were bundled out of the courtroom by several security guards following their violent outburst and the judge was forced to sentence them in their absence.
