JUSTICE STRIKES: Second Man Charged In Vicious London Slaying (DETAILS)

 


As religious tension heightens in Britain,  police have charged a second suspect Saturday with the murder of a soldier who was hacked to death in a London street.
The Metropolitan Police said 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo was charged with the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby and is also accused of attempting to murder two police officers, and possession of a firearm.
According to Huffington Post:
Adebolajo was released from a hospital Friday after treatment for injuries suffered when he was shot by police in the May 22 attack near an army barracks in southeast London.
Another man, 22-year-old Michael Adebowale, also has been charged with murdering Rigby, who died of "multiple incised wounds," according to a post-mortem.
On Friday, Rigby's family released a plea for peace, saying:
"Lee would not want people to use his name as an excuse to carry out attacks against others."
Police said Adebolajo will make his first court appearance on Monday.
Several others have been arrested and questioned in connection with the attack but most have been released on bail.
Thankfully justice is being pursued in this heinous act.
