A first aider who rushed to help the murdered soldier Lee Rigby heard one of his alleged killers talking about "religion and Afghanistan", a court has heard.
Vikki Cave feared Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, were planning to attack police as she spoke to the two men just metres away from Fusilier Rigby's body.
Abebolajo and Adebowale both deny murdering the soldier, as well as counts of attempted murder of a police officer and conspiracy to murder.
In a statement read to the jury at the Old Bailey by prosecutor Richard Whittam QC, Ms Cave, who was driving down John Wilson Street in Woolwich, south east London, when she witnessed the scene, said: "I was next to the body, only a few metres from the male.
"I spoke to them - are you going to hurt us?

29 Nov 2013"He said 'The women and children are safe, you need to keep back when the police and soldiers get here'.
"They then started shouting about religion and Afghanistan and the damage other soldiers have done."
When Ms Cave first arrived, she spoke to another woman on the ground next to Fusilier Rigby and said she was "around to help" as she was first aid-trained.
Ms Cave said: "She said 'There's nothing that can be done. He's gone'."
Ms Cave said one of the men claimed the attack was "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
Paramedic Daniel Middleton, who arrived at the scene on his own, said in a statement one of the men was holding two meat cleavers and appeared to be "sharpening" them.
Fusilier Rigby was allegedly murdered as he walked back to Woolwich Barracks in south east London on May 22.
Adebolajo and Adebowale are accused of running him over and hacking him to death with a meat cleaver and knives.

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."

Lee Rigby trial: police woman thought she was going to die as man ran at her with meat cleaver, court hears

The moments when armed police shot two Islamist fanatics suspected of murdering soldier Lee Rigby were shown to a jury on Tueday.
One officer told the court she feared she was about to die as a man ran at her vehicle waving a bloodied cleaver, but her colleague “instinctively” shot him in a split-second decision.
Three armed officers arrived at the scene in Woolwich, south-east London, after bystanders saw 25-year-old Fusilier Rigby run over and then hacked to death in daylight in May.
His alleged attackers, Michael Adebolajo 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, waited for police to arrive before running at them. CCTV footage was shown to the Old Bailey jury on the third day of the murder trial.
One officer, identified only as E48 and giving evidence from behind a screen, said he had “very little time” to act as Adebolajo bore down on their police car with a meat cleaver and knife.

29 Nov 2013“He almost instantly broke into a sprint and I realised we were being attacked,” said the officer. “I seemed to react instinctively.”
He said a female colleague who had been driving was “defenceless” in the front seat, adding: “The second he started sprinting at us still in possession of that knife I made the decision to fire.”
In a written statement, his female colleague, referred to as D49, said: “I saw a black male running at me waving both his hands in the air in a chopping motion. In his right hand I saw what I call a meat cleaver or a machete.
“I instantly thought, 'He’s going to kill me’.”
The force of E48’s shot threw Adebolajo to the ground and the three officers then leapt out of the car and saw Adebowale, who was holding a gun.
D49 said: “I thought, 'Oh my God he’s going to shoot me’. I feared for my life.” The third officer then shot Adebowale but the attacker raised his gun while lying on the ground.
E48 told the jury: “I’ve still got a distinct image in my mind of him holding a black revolver in his hand which I clearly saw, which struck me as unusual because he’d just been shot.”
Police fired again at the hand holding the gun and shot Adebowale’s thumb off.
The officers then immediately administered first aid, said E48, adding: “Once the threat is neutralised we have a duty of care to all persons to save life, no matter who they are.”
Earlier, the court was shown a video clip of Adebolajo telling members of the public he had attacked Fusilier Rigby in retaliation for British soldiers killing Muslims. He then told paramedic Nicholas Goh: “I don’t want anyone to die, I just want the soldiers out of my country.”.
Adebolajo also told him he wished the bullets had killed him, Richard Whittam QC, prosecuting, said.
In a statement, Stephen Berry, another paramedic, said Adebolajo told him that “British soldiers deserved to die” for raping and killing women “in our lands”.
The defendant later told Pc Melita Vejnovic in hospital that he had never intended to hurt civilians, only the military.
Michelle Nimmo, a witness, said in a statement that one of the alleged attackers had a “smirk” on his face and both men appeared “proud” of what they had done. “They stood around looking proud and posing with the gun and knives. They made no attempt to run away.”
Her mother, Tina, broke down in tears as she gave evidence in person. She said she had pleaded with the two attackers to stop, shouting and swearing at them.
Sarah Riordan, another witness, who was heavily pregnant at the time, said in her statement that she began experiencing “contracting pains” as events unfolded, but was given the all clear at hospital.
Abebolajo and Adebowale both deny murdering the soldier, as well as counts of attempted murder of a police officer and conspiracy to murder.
The case continues.

Lee Rigby trial: alleged killer showed 'no signs of remorse'

One of Lee Rigby's killers boasted he was no threat to the public or police but was a 'continued risk to the military,' after hacking the Fusilier to death, a court has heard.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, who tried to behead the soldier on May 22, showed 'no signs of regret or remorse,' jurors were told.
When he was assessed by a psychiatrist two days later the expert ruled there were no concerns with Adebolajo's mental health then or in the lead up to the murder.
Neither had the self-styled Muslim extremist been drinking alcohol or taking illicit substances, jurors heard.
Oliver Glasgow, prosecuting, said Adebolajo appeared 'polite and cooperative.'

02 Dec 2013The killer also denied being depressive, suicidal or wanting to self harm.
He claimed he was supported by his family and said at that point his 'principal concern' was that he believed his actions had caused them distress.
Jurors were told Adebolajo had spent two spells in a young offenders institution when he was younger but had never been in trouble for violence before.
He told a psychiatrist the events of May 22 were 'planned' and his actions were down to his religious beliefs.
"I pose no risk to the public or police but would be a continuing risk to the military,' he allegedly added.
The Old Bailey heard he also praised medical staff caring for him in hospital after armed police shot him..
Mr Glasgow said: "The defendant said he was impressed and grateful for the care he was receiving having assumed that after what he had done to a soldier he would be poorly treated and denied access to his spiritual needs."
Adebolajo, of Romford, east London, who has asked to be known as Mujaahid Abu Hamza in court, and Adebowale from Greenwich, south east London, who wants to be known as Ismail Ibn Abdullah, deny Fusilier Rigby's murder, attempting to murder a police officer and conspiracy to murder a police officer.
Both men have already pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
The trial continues.
