One of the suspects in the murder of a serving UK soldier in East London has been identified as a 28-year-old Islam convert of Nigerian descent.

One of the assailants has been identified as 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo, UK media report. Adebolejo was said to come from a devout Christian family, but converted to Islam when he finished college.
