Michael Adebolajo's shocked family says it's face to face.
Two terror suspects shot by police in Woolwich remain under arrest in hospital. They were named as Michael Adebolajo, originally of Romford, Essex, and Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, South East London
The Ministry of Defence earlier said the soldier killed is 25-year-old Drummer Lee Rigby, of 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Drummer Rigby had a two-year-old son and had served in Afghanistan.
In other developments:
A British newspaper publishes shocking video of the moment the two men accused of killing Drummer Rigby were shot by police following the barbaric attack.
Metropolitan Police said they had made two further arrests - a man and woman, both aged 29 - on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in relation to the Woolwich killing.
Links are revealed between accused killer Michael Adebolajo and radical Islamic cleric Anjem Choudary, who is accused of having "blood on his hands".
Britain is bracing for clashes with right-wing extremists and possible copycat terror attacks and has added some 1,200 police to potential trouble spots. Terror analysts said publicity of the murder was intended to inspire copycat attacks and they are already seeing an increase chatter calling for such attacks on extremist sites.
Essex hairdresser Justine Rigden, 26, who works in east London dated the suspect for a year when they were teenagers.
"He was really friendly and really polite and there was never anything to suggest he would be caught up in anything like this," she said yesterday.
She added: "He had a group of friends from Hackney, they werent wrong uns, they were okay and he used to do a bit of MC-ing, rapping. Nobody can believe it. He was just this normal regular boy."
TV footage showed a man at the scene in Woolwich with bloody hands who is thought to be terror suspect Michael Adebolajo, seen inset at an Islamic rally in 2007.
Adebolajo reportedly became radicalised at the age of 16 or 17 when he converted to Islam.
