Rigby was walking back to barracks wearing a “Help for Heroes” sweatshirt when targeted.

Adebolajo and Adebowale ran him over with a car, then attacked him with knives and a cleaver.

Rigby was dragged into the road; he died almost instantly from multiple stab wounds.

The men stayed at the scene, covered in blood, and declared their actions on bystander cameras.

Adebolajo told the public they were avenging Muslims killed abroad.

Armed police arrived around 20 minutes later and shot both men after they charged officers.

Emergency services confirmed Rigby had died at the scene.

The murder was classified as an Islamist terror attack.

In December 2013, both men were convicted of murder.

Adebolajo received a whole-life order; Adebowale got life with a minimum of 45 years.

The attack shocked Britain, leading to vigils and widespread condemnation.

Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain would “never give in to terror.”

Muslim leaders condemned the attack, highlighting how extremists distort faith.

A parliamentary committee later criticised MI5 for missed warning signs about the men’s extremism.

Rigby’s family, including his young son, became central to public mourning.

Memorials and foundations were established in his honour.

His death remains one of the most shocking domestic terror attacks in modern British history.
