Michael Adebolajo appeals against life sentence


Michael Adebolajo, who was given a whole-life sentence for the murder of soldier Lee Rigby has launched an appeal against his sentence.

Adebolajo, 29, together with Michael Adebowale, 22, drove into Fusilier Rigby with a car before hacking him to death in Woolwich, south-east London.

At the time judge, Justice Sweeney, said Adebolajo’s was a "rare case" which warranted a whole-life term.

The Muslim converts had "butchered" the 25-year-old soldier, he said.
