Dressed in all white with his left arm bandaged, the 28 year
old, who is accused of murdering Lee Rigby, 25, a fortnight ago, stood in the
dock flanked by two police officers and a prison guard. As he arrived in the
courtroom he appeared to blow a kiss to a friend in the public gallery, gripped
a copy of the Koran throughout and refused to stand in the dock.
He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey
within 48 hours. Earlier he was swept into Westminster Magistrates Court in an
armoured vehicle led by a police convoy. A number of armed officers formed a
ring of steel and shut off roads around the court in central London.
Meanwhile the other key suspect in the Drummer Rigby case
refused to appear at the Old Bailey today. Michael Adebowale, 22, told prison
staff he did not want to go on video link to the court for a statutory bail
hearing.
