A man has appeared in court charged with murdering the soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London.

Michael Adebowale, 22, confirmed his name and address as the charges were read out at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

He was charged on Wednesday, after spending six days in hospital having been shot by armed police following the attack on Drummer Rigby on 22 May.

A second man, Michael Adebolajo, remains under arrest in hospital.

Like Mr Adebowale, the 28-year-old Mr Adebolajo was shot by police at the time he was arrested.

Couldn't get a seat for this. Tried.
