A Good Samaritan has described in vivid detail his tense stand-off with a knife-wielding terrorist accused of murdering MP David Amess.

Unarmed Darren King said he immediately became aware of the danger posed by the suspect, 26-year-old Ali Harbi Ali, as the pair came face to face inside Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, last October.
