Suspect's family pray for dead soldier Rigby A statement released through lawyers said: "We wish to share with others our horror at the senseless killing of Lee Rigby and express our profound shame and distress that this has brought on our family. We send our heartfelt condolence to Lee Rigby's family and loved ones. Adebolajo was brought up in a Christian family but converted to Islam in 2003. His parents, Anthony and Ibitoye Adebolajo, are Nigerian immigrants who settled in Romford, east London, but moved from there to Lincolnshire to try and keep their son out of trouble. The family statement continued: "We wish to state openly that we believe that there is no place for violence in the name of religion or politics. We believe all right thinking members of society share this view wherever they were born and whatever their religion and political beliefs. We wholeheartedly condemn all those who engage in acts of terror and fully reject any suggestion by them that religion or politics can justify this kind of violence. We unreservedly put out faith in the rule of law and with others fully expect that all the perpetrators will be brought to justice under the law of the land. And we pray for Lee Rigby's soul to rest in peace, for the Lord to comfort his parents and loved ones and provide all of us affected the strength and fortitude to cope with this tragedy. The 28-year-old was arrested and deported from Kenya three years ago. Friends have also claimed MI5 had tried to recruit Adebolajo as an informant and yesterday the campaign group Cage Prisoners claimed the security service had also put pressure on his family. To date no evidence has been given to support these claims. Today, Adebowale, who was also shot by police last week, was released from hospital and handed to officers from Scotland Yard's counter terrorism unit. He was also further arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer. So far, 10 people have been arrested by detectives investigating the young soldier's death.
