Two Nigerians appeared in a London court on Friday to deny claims
they murdered British soldier, Lee Rigby, outside his barracks.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, of Romford, Essex, and Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, appeared via video link at the Old Bailey.
They also each denied attempting to murder a police officer on May
22, the day of Rigby’s death, and conspiracy to murder a police officer
on or before that day.
The pair sat in separate rooms for the hearing, which was watched by
the soldier’s widow Rebecca Rigby who sat in the public gallery.
Adebolajo has asked to be known as Mujaahid Abu Hamza in court, while Adebowale, has asked to be called Ismail Ibn Abdullah.
The pair were remanded in custody to face trial at the Old Bailey on November 19.
Adebolajo is also accused of the attempted murder of two police officers.
Drummer Rigby had survived Taliban bombs and bullets during a tour of duty as a machine gunner in Afghanistan.
But he died after being hit by a car and then attacked with weapons
including a knife and a meat cleaver, in Woolwich, south east London, on
May 22.
