The family of one of the men suspected of murdering a soldier in London expressed “profound shame and distress” over the death, as a second accused killer was discharged from hospital after being shot by police.
Relatives of Michael Adebolajo, 28, released a statement sending their “heartfelt condolence” to Lee Rigby’s family, and saying there is no place for violence in the name of religion.
He and Michael Adebowale, 22, were both shot by police in the wake of Drummer Rigby’s death after apparently charging towards armed officers.
Adebowale was discharged from hospital on Tuesday afternoon and moved to police custody.
Adebowale and Adebolajo were both arrested on suspicion of his murder.
Adebowale was further arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer.
Other people arrested include a 50-year-old man who was held in Welling, south-east London, and was being questioned.
A 22-year-old man arrested in Highbury, north London, on Sunday and three men detained on Saturday over the killing have all been released on bail, as has a fifth man, aged 29.
Two women, aged 29 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder but later released without charge.
