Michael Adebolajo has been charged with the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, who was hacked to death in Woolwich, southeast London, last month.<\/p>\n

Sky News says Adebolajo, 28, is also accused of the attempted murder of two police officers and possessing a firearm.<\/p>\n

Another man, Michael Adebowale, 22, has already been charged with murdering the young soldier and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two men, aged 42 and 46, held on suspicion of being involved in the supply of guns in connection with the killing have been bailed.<\/p>\n

They are due to return to a south London police station later this month.<\/p>\n

Father-of-one Mr. Rigby suffered “extensive and serious” injuries and had to be identified by a dental expert, an inquest into his death heard.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old was killed near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich on May 22, as he returned from a day working at the Tower of London.<\/p>\n

A short hearing at Southwark Coroner’s Court was told Drummer Rigby was hit by a car before being attacked by two men armed with a cleaver and a knife.<\/p>\n

A post-mortem has confirmed he died from multiple cut and stab wounds.<\/p>\n
