Rigby killer appeals sentence

One of the two murderers of soldier Lee Rigby has launched an appeal against his whole-life prison term, the UK's Judicial Office confirmed today.

Michael Adebolajo was sentenced at the Old Bailey in February alongside Michael Adebowale, who was jailed for life with a minimum term of 45 years.

The pair were sentenced by Mr Justice Sweeney for butchering the 25-year-old father of one in broad daylight near Woolwich Barracks in south east London on May 22 last year.
