Woolwich suspect 'a lovely, humble young man' says neighbour

Madeline Edwards, a neighbour of Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebowale told ITV News she is astounded he could be involved in the brutal attack on soldier Lee Rigby.

Describing him as a "lovely young man" whose mother was "very hard working" she said:

"He is just a very humble young man, quite solitary. I know he turned towards Islam, but I did not know he held views that he would have ended up in this situation."

Members of the mosque quickly extinguished the fire and prevented any significant damage. Police have praised their actions and are appealing for help to find the attackers.
