The widow of soldier Lee Rigby broke
down in tears today as Michael Adebolajo 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22,
appeared at the Old Bailey via videolink and denied his murder.. Fusilier
Rigby, who was from Middleton, Greater Manchester, was killed as he returned to
Woolwich barracks in south-east London on May 22, and died from multiple cut
and stab wounds.
The defendants also each denied
attempting to murder a police officer on May 22, the day of Fusilier Rigby's
death, and conspiracy to murder a police officer on or before that day.
Both wearing red T-shirts and pale trousers, they appeared
from separate rooms for today's hearing. Adebowale sat in front of an HMP
Belmarsh sign.
Adebolajo, from Romford in Essex, has
asked to be known as Mujaahid Abu Hamza in court, while Adebowale, from
Greenwich, south east London, has asked to be called Ismail Ibn Abdullah.
The pair were remanded in custody to face trial at the Old
Bailey on November 18.
