A man has been charged with the murder of
soldier Lee Rigby in south-east London last week,
police have said.
Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, London,
has been remanded in custody to appear at
Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday
morning.
A second man, Michael Adebolajo, 28, remains
under arrest at a London hospital.
Drummer Rigby, 25, was stabbed to death in a
street attack in Woolwich on Wednesday 22
May.
Mr Adebowale, who was discharged from hospital
on Tuesday, has also been charged with
possession of a firearm.
'Sufficient evidence'
Sue Hemming, head of the Crown Prosecution
Service (CPS) Special Crime and Counter-
terrorism Division, said : "Crown Prosecutors
have been working with the investigators of
Counter Terrorism Command since the killing of
Drummer Lee Rigby on 22 May.
"Following the release of Michael Adebowale from
hospital, we have authorised the police to charge
him with the murder of Drummer Rigby.
"We have also authorised police to charge him
with possession of a firearm, contrary to section
16A of the Firearms Act 1968.
"There is sufficient evidence to prosecute Michael
Adebowale and it is in the public interest to do
so. He will appear at Westminster Magistrates'
Court tomorrow, Thursday 30 May."
The CPS said it was continuing to advise police
over other suspects arrested during the
investigation into Drummer Rigby's death.
A post-mortem examination found that the serving
soldier died of "multiple incised wounds".
Scotland Yard said the inquest into Drummer
Rigby's death would open at Southwark
Coroner's Court on Friday.
Minute's silence
Commander Simon Letchford, of the Metropolitan
Police, has made a fresh appeal for information
and witnesses following the incident near the
Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich.
A minute's silence was held in Woolwich just
before 14:20 BST on Wednesday - exactly a week
after the event - followed by spontaneous applause.
Drummer Rigby's fiancee Aimee West said she
was "devastated by the loss".
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is
investigating, which is routine in situations where
police officers have discharged their firearms,
after two men were shot in the incident.
The commission said two police officers had fired
gunshots and one had used a Taser.
Police have arrested eight other people in
connection with the investigation so far; six of
these have been bailed and two released without
charge.

Why telling us all this he should be shot in the head four times. What a wasted semen and a disgrace to nigeria.

I myself keep on wondering why young Nigerians with a promising future keep doing all sorts of bizzare act in the name of Islam.
