Tensions erupt over soldier’s slaying

Police investigating the grisly murder of a soldier in London by two Islamists made another arrest last night, as 1,000 far-right protesters demonstrated near Prime Minister David Cameron’s office.

A 50-year-old man, held on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, is now the tenth person arrested over the hacking to death of Lee Rigby, 25, near a barracks in Woolwich on Wednesday.

This includes the two prime suspects, Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, who remain under armed guard in separate London hospitals after being shot by police at the murder scene.
