Two men went on trial Friday accused of the “cowardly and callous murder” of British soldier Lee Rigby in a London street.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, are each accused of murder, conspiracy to murder a police officer and attempted murder of a police officer.
They denied the charges at the Old Bailey court in London.
Prosecutor Richard Whittam told the jury that the suspects deliberately attacked an unarmed man from behind using a vehicle as a weapon, “and then they murdered him and mutilated his body with a meat cleaver and knives.”
Rigby, who was married with a young son, was killed on May 22 outside the Woolwich Barracks in southeast London, in an attack that shocked the nation.
