A HORRIFIED brickie who used to be Khalid Masood’s best mate told how the maniac was locked up for a knife attack and emerged from jail a brooding convert to radical Islam.

Mark Ashdown, 52, went to the same secondary school and the pair became “like brothers”.

His fun-loving pal went on to turn into a hellraiser — boozing and bedding girls.

He would also take cocaine and ecstasy. Mark fought back tears over the Westminster carnage wreaked by his former friend. He said: “He was certainly not a Muslim when I knew him.

“He was Jack the lad. We grew up together, partying all night — drink, drugs, sex, the lot. We lived for weekend raves.”

He knew him as Ade Ajao — and only realised yesterday he was the Westminster killer when the old name was mentioned on the radio.

Shattered Mark told how he was at work and immediately exclaimed: “Oh, my God — it’s Ade!”
Mark told The Sun: “We were inseparable from the age of 12.

“The man who cradled my baby boy Lewis 24 years ago was the same man who mowed down children on Westminster Bridge.”

The terrorist was born Adrian Elms in Dartford, Kent, but took his stepdad’s surname Ajao when the family moved to Tunbridge Wells.

He went to Huntleys Secondary School in the town, where Mark was a fellow pupil. The pair would smoke behind the bike sheds.

The lad he knew as Ade was a school athlete and talented footballer. The Chelsea fan also sang and played drums in a rock band called Alternative Ad.

His O-level grades were good enough to earn him a place at a college in Brighton.
