Terrorist Ali Harbi Ali has been found guilty of murdering MP Sir David Amess in a frenzied knife attack at a constituency surgery last October. Read more:
Ali Harbi Ali, 26, who lived in Kentish Town in north London was described as a 'lone wolf attacker' as he was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murder and a charge of preparing acts of terrorism.
"We couldn't stand outside if there was a chance other people were getting attacked and we also wanted to get paramedics inside the building as soon as possible to save Sir David. Essex Police Chief Superintendent Simon Anslow praised his officers' "astounding bravery" in tackling Ali. Ali bought a £20 knife from Argos six years ago which he carried in his bag throughout the summer of 2021 as he "scoped out" possible targets, jurors heard.
Ali rejected the plan after Mr Gove split up with his wife and was thought to have moved out of the family home. He made an appointment through the MP's office, falsely claiming he was moving to the area and was interested in churches. Sir David's assistant Julie Cushion told jurors he appeared "self-satisfied" in the wake of the brutal killing.
