One of the terrorists who killed Lee Rigby is fighting for his life after catching coronavirus, it is reported.

Michael Adebowale is serving a life sentence for murdering Fusilier Rigby in May 2013 on the streets of Woolwich, south-east London.

The 29-year-old Islamic terrorist was moved from Broadmoor last week following a deterioration in his condition after he contracted Covid-19, according to the Sun.

Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo ran over the 25-year-old soldier close to Woolwich Barracks in May 2013 before stabbing him to death in broad daylight.

The father-of-one died as a result of multiple cut and stab wounds after the attack fuelled by Adebowale and Adebolajo’s extremist beliefs, described as a “betrayal of Islam” at their murder trial in 2014.
