The jury in the trial of Michael Adebolajo have been shown mobile phone footage in which he explains why he killed soldier Lee Rigby 7:35PM GMT 03 Dec 2013

The court at the Old Bailey was replayed a video clip of accused Michael Adebolajo talking to members of the public as he waited for the police to arrive.

Still clutching his weapons and hands covered in blood, he said: “The only reason we've killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.

"This British soldier is one - he is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

He adds: "I apologise that women had to witness this today but in our lands our women have to see the same."

Michael Abebolajo and Michael Adebowale both deny murdering soldier Lee Rigby, as well as counts of attempted murder of a police officer and conspiracy to murder.
