Raising his arm into a
Usain Bolt pose, Michael Adebolajo kisses a copy of the Koran with his eyes
closed. The terror suspect went
through this routine as he appeared in court yesterday accused of murdering
Drummer Lee Rigby.
Stooping in the dock with
a large bandage on his left arm, the 28-year-old demanded to be called ‘Abu
Hamza’.
Clutching a copy of the
Koran in his right hand, Adebolajo repeatedly interrupted the hearing.
At one point he said: ‘I’m
only a man. I would like to alleviate the pain if I may.’ Then suddenly he held
his hands aloft and closed his eyes before kissing the Koran.
Throughout the 12-minute
hearing Adebolajo blew kisses towards a relative in the public gallery,
understood to be his younger brother Jeremiah.
