Rigby slaying brought accused 'little joy' A handout CCTV image shows Michael Adebowale running down the footpath after the slaying of Lee Rigby. London: The Islamist accused of hacking Lee Rigby to death told police it brought him "little joy to approach anybody and slay them," a court heard on Wednesday. Michael Adebolajo, 28, told officers that 25-year-old Fusilier Rigby was killed after being "struck in the neck" and "sawed" until his head "almost detached." At times, Adebolajo clashed with officers trying to ask him questions, saying they could not interrupt him.

Fusilier Rigby died on May 22 close to his Woolwich barracks in south-east London after allegedly being run over and then stabbed and hacked to death. When asked what happened to Fusilier Rigby, Adebolajo said: "He was struck in the neck with a sharp implement and it was sawed until his head, you know, almost detached, and may Allah forgive me if I acted in a way that is displeasing to him." Later, he said: "It brings me little joy to approach anyone and slay them." Adebolajo said he was ashamed to be British as his voice broke with emotion. He said: "The shame of being British is when that title British is associated with the murder, pillage and rape of innocent people. This disgusts me to the core. He added: "If this does not affect you, you are a wicked man and I pray Allah will reward you for your cruel inaction." He said there was an ongoing "war between the Muslims and the British people" and he was a "soldier of Allah." In one interview, the murder suspect told officers the leaders of Britain were "wicked, corrupt, selfish and oppressive" and he was "particularly disgusted by David Cameron, the Miliband brothers and what's-his-name, Nick Clegg." Occasionally revealing his face to the camera, Adebolajo said: "They use the magic tongue to dodge very important questions, and one man, perhaps he continues to be the man most skilled at doing so, he goes by the name of Tony Blair. Unfortunately, not everybody realises the wickedness and corruption of this man. He said the British public would not stand for foreign troops on their streets "dragging away the man, raping the women, gathering the bodies and tying them together, dousing them in petrol, and setting them on fire." Fusilier Rigby's widow, Rebecca, left in tears as the interviews were played. The jury heard how Tim McInerney, a forensic psychiatrist, said Adebolajo showed "no regret or remorse" and was not suffering from any mental illness. Simon Poole, a pathologist, told the court that Fusilier Rigby suffered "numerous and very deep" wounds to his neck, some as deep as five and half inches. Adebolajo and Adebowale deny murder, as well as attempted murder of a police officer and conspiracy to murder a police officer.
