Sir David Amess murder trial: Terror suspect killed MP in ‘frenzied attack’ after targeting Michael Gove, court hears
Sky News says veteran MP Sir David Amess was killed in a “vicious and frenzied attack” by a “fanatical terrorist” who had previously targeted Michael Gove, a court has heard.
Ali Harbi Ali “hoped that he would become a martyr” after repeatedly stabbing the MP for Southend West in “an assassination for terrorist purposes”, a jury was told.
Sir David was holding meetings with constituents in a church building in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, when he was knifed to death on 15 October.
The final moments of the Conservative MP’s death were detailed before jurors at the Old Bailey, where Ali is on trial for murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
