One of the two suspects in the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby has been released from the hospital and taken into custody at a London police station.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, was shot by police at the scene of the attack in southeast London on May 22.
The attack, which took place on a busy road in broad daylight, has heightened tensions over security in Britain and raised fresh fears of home-grown terrorism. Rigby was stabbed with knives and cleavers in the neighborhood of Woolwich, across the street from an army barracks. Police are treating the case as an act of terrorism.
Michael Adebowale, 22, was charged on May 29 with murder and possession of a handgun in connection with Rigby’s death.
London police have arrested 12 people in the probe into Rigby’s death, including Adebolajo and Adebowale.
