One of Lee Rigby‘s killers has been told by a judge he will die in prison and the other has been jailed for a minimum of 45 years.
There were dramatic scenes in court as the two murderers fought with guards in the dock as sentencing began.
Michael Adebolajo shouted “Allahu- Akbar” at the judge, and he and co-killer Michael Adebowale were both restrained and pinned down by several guards at the Old Bailey.
The pair were taken back down to the cells and Adebolajo could be heard screaming from downstairs.
The judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, then sentenced the men in their absence from the courtroom.
Adebolajo, 29, was given a whole-life term, and Adebowale, 22, was jailed for at least 45 years.
They ran the soldier down before hacking him to death in Woolwich last year.
They both claimed they were “soldiers of Allah” and were motivated by the plight of Muslims abroad to carry out the killing, and have shown no remorse.
