Family of London murder suspect says ashamed by soldier's slaying

The family of a man suspected of hacking a British soldier to death on a London street condemned the attack as senseless on Tuesday, distancing itself from the murder which has provoked an anti-Muslim backlash.

Nothing we say can undo the events of last week," the family of Michael Adebolajo said in a statement. "However, as a family, we wish to share with others our horror at the senseless killing of Lee Rigby and express our profound shame and distress that this has brought on our family. (Reuters)
