Woolwich killing: Further arrests as spotlight turns on security services

British police arrested two more people yesterday in a hunt for accomplices of two British men of Nigerian descent accused of hacking a soldier to death on a London street in revenge for wars in Muslim countries.

The family of the soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby, paid tribute to “a loving son, husband, father, brother and uncle” who always wanted to be in the army and “live life and enjoy himself”.

The victim, who has a two-year-old son Jake, was a machine gunner who served with Nato-led forces in Afghanistan in 2009, the defence ministry said.
