| Drummer Lee Rigby |
The soldier killed in an attack in London has been named as
Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Drummer Rigby, 25, from Manchester, leaves behind a two-year-old son.
Two suspects shot by police after Wednesday's attack in Woolwich
remain under arrest. A further two people have been arrested on
conspiracy to murder.
The two suspects who were shot, believed to include Michael Adebolajo, were known to security services.
Scotland Yard said the latest arrests were of a man and woman, both aged 29.
The victim's name was announced by the Ministry of Defence pending formal police identification.
"An extremely popular and witty soldier, Drummer Rigby was a larger
than life personality within the Corps of Drums and was well known,
liked and respected across the Second Fusiliers," the MoD statement
said.
"He was a passionate and life-long Manchester United fan."
He had joined the Army in 2006, and is described as a "loving father
to his son Jack" and someone who would be "sorely missed by all who knew
him'.
