Mother of Rigby’s killer asks family to forgive ‘sweet boy’

The mother of one of the Muslim extremists who butchered Fusilier Lee Rigby has asked the soldier’s family to forgive her son.

Juliet Adebowale said in a television interview that she wanted to meet with Fusilier Rigby’s loved ones to express her “heartfelt” condolences.

Michael Adebowale, aged 22, and Michael Adebolajo, aged 29, were found guilty at the Old Bailey on Thursday of murdering the young soldier near Woolwich Barracks on May 22.
