attended Huntleys School for Boys, having failed to secure a place at grammar school.

In 2013, Masood sent an angry bitter email to his mother about his childhood - and his disappointment with his schooling.

"I remember that email," Mrs Ajao told the inquests. "I have spent a long time thinking what did I do wrong… What should I have done."

His parents later moved to rural Carmarthenshire - and after many years of being estranged from them, Masood visited one last time in the days before his attack. He left that last meeting, telling his mother, "They will say I am a terrorist - but I am not."

First offending

Masood's first offending came when hewas arrested aged 14 for shoplifting and given a police caution. His mother had sent him out to buy stationery for school - and told the inquests she could not understand why he had not used the money she had provided.

He left school at 16 and and studied for a BTEC in business studies at a local college. And as he entered his later teenage years, his temper developed.

His two brothers told police Masood was "a violent but clever person who wouldn't back down from a disagreement". His mother later told police that she had come to believe years earlier that he could end up killing someone.

And that refusal to back down would lead him into a life of violence.
