Westminster jurors visibly upset after being shown graphic footage of Khalid Masood's rampage

Jurors at Khalid Masood’s inquest were left visibly upset today as they were shown graphic footage of the Westminster attacker’s rampage.

Muslim convert Masoon, 52, mowed down pedestrians in just 82 seconds, killing four and seriously injuring 29 more, before stabbing an unarmed police guard at the Palace of Westminster.

The inquest heard how crowds fled in terror after Masood crashed his Hyundai Tucson into railings and lumbered towards the Palace of Westminster gates armed with two large knives.

Grim-faced inquest jurors held their heads in their hands as they saw mum-of-two Aysha Frade, 44, being struck from behind into the path of a bus.

Jurors were also shown the dramatic moment Masood was fatally shot in New Palace Yard.

Earlier, the Old Bailey inquest heard what happened after Masood crashed his car.

Pc Keith Palmer was on duty at the Carriage Gates and stepped forward to confront him.

The officer was driven back and stumbled by a low wall where he was repeatedly stabbed by Masood.

He managed to get away when a colleague distracted the knifeman but collapsed nearby in a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, two armed bodyguards had rushed to the scene and shouted a warning for Masood to stop.

When he failed to comply, one of the close protection officers opened fire.

The inquest into Masood’s death followed the conclusion of hearings for victims Pc Palmer, 48, American tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, retired window cleaner Leslie Rhodes, 75, mother-of-two Aysha Frade, 44, and Romanian designer Andreea Cristea, 31.

Detective Superintendent John Crossley played CCTV footage capturing the events of the afternoon of March 22 last year.

Jurors appeared shocked when they saw people thrown into the air as Masood swerved on to the pavement to hit them on the bridge.

The inquest also showed Masood’s final moments before he was gunned down by police.

Images of the close protection officers were blurred out to protect their identities but their guns were clearly visible.

Mr Crossley said an extensive investigation involving more than 1,300 officers and the collection of thousands of hours of CCTV footage had concluded Masood acted alone.
