'I did it for God. I wish the bullets had killed me'- murder suspect, Michael Adebolajo,
One of the Muslim converts accused of murdering Lee Rigby thanked police for shooting him and said 'I wish the bullets had killed me' as he was given first aid, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
Jurors were shown footage of Michael Adebolajo, 28, and his accomplice Michael Adebowale, 22, being gunned down by armed police when the defendants tried to attack them.
Minutes earlier they had 'mutilated, almost decapitated and murdered' Lee Rigby, 25, after they had ambushed him outside military barracks in Woolwich, South East London, the Old Bailey heard.
Adebolajo is seen to fly across the road as shots are fired at him and received a gunshot wound to his upper left bicep.
The court heard as he lay in the road he said to paramedics: 'Please let me lay here, I don't want anyone to die, I just want the soldiers out of my country.
'Your government is wrong, I did it for my God. I wish the bullets had killed me so I can join my friends and family.'
Adebolajo later told officers: 'I am a Muslim extremist, this may be the only chance you meet one. Your people have gone to Afghanistan and raped and killed our women. I am seeking retribution I wouldn't stoop so low as to rape and kill women.
'I thank the person who shot me, because it is what Allah would have wanted.'
Adebolajo added: 'I love Allah more than my children.'
At hospital he told doctors he did not want to be touched by any women. He made no reply to being arrested on suspicion of murder.
The following day Adebolajo told another officer: 'My intention was never to harm civilians. There were women and children around. My intention was to hurt military only.'
He added: 'The reason that we are fighting is because we believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We hope that one day Great Britain will replace those corrupt politicians with men, or women, who truly care about the security of their citizens by withdrawing from affairs of Muslims, including their lands.'
