A jury on Thursday convicted two men who called themselves "soldiers of Allah" of murdering a British soldier who was run down with a car, stabbed to death and nearly decapitated in a brutal attack on a London street.

 

The jury of eight women and four men deliberated for just 90 minutes before finding Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale guilty of murdering Fusilier Lee Rigby. They were acquitted of attempting to murder a police officer.

 

Both men had pleaded not guilty to murder, though neither denied taking part in the May 22 attack.

Members of Lee Rigby's family sobbed on the court steps as a statement was read by Detective Inspector Pete Sparks on their behalf.

 

The statement read: "No one should have to go through what we have been through as a family.

 

"We are satisfied that justice has been done, but unfortunately no amount of justice will bring Lee back.

 

"These people have taken him away from us forever but his memory lives on in all of us and we will never forget him. "We are very proud of Lee, who served his country, and we will now focus on building a future for his son Jack, making him as proud of Lee as we all are. Lee will be sorely missed by his siblings, nieces, nephew and all of those who loved him.

 

"We now ask that we are left alone to grieve through our loss."
