"I did it for God. I wish the bullets had killed me": Michael Adebolajo 'thanked' police for shooting him after Lee Rigby's death

The Jury in the murder case of Lee Rigby was shown a footage of the moment when two men (Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale) allegedly ran down the drummer, after which they multilated and almost decapitated him.  

One of the Muslim converts accused of murdering Lee Rigby thanked police for shooting him and said 'I wish the bullets had killed me' as he was given first aid, the Old Bailey heard today.

Jurors were also shown footage of Michael Adebolajo, 28, and his accomplice Michael Adebowale, 22, being gunned down by armed police when the defendants tried to attack them.

Minutes earlier they had 'mutilated, almost decapitated and murdered' Lee Rigby, 25, after they had ambushed him outside military barracks in Woolwich, South East London, the Old Bailey heard.
