One of the suspects in the Woolwich murder was arrested in Kenya in 2010, the UK Foreign Office has confirmed.

It said Michael Adebolajo was arrested there and it gave consular assistance "as normal" in the circumstances.

Media reports have suggested that Mr Adebolajo appeared in court accused of leading a group of Islamists trying to join terrorist group al-Shabaab in neighbouring Somalia.

The Kenyan government had denied that he had ever visited the country.

Mr Adebolajo, 28, and a second man, Michael Adebowale, 22, were arrested on suspicion of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich on Wednesday.

They remain in custody in hospital in a stable condition after being shot and wounded by police at the scene after the killing.
