"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 to our family."
They said they believed that
“there is no place for violence in the name of religion or politics”,
adding that they “wholeheartedly condemn all those who engage in acts of
terror”.
They went on: "We pray for Lee Rigby's soul to rest in
peace, for the Lord to comfort his parents and loved ones and provide
all of us affected with the strength and fortitude to cope with this
tragedy."
The statement came as Adebolajo’s alleged accomplice –
also shot by police after the murder of soldier Lee Rigby – was
discharged from hospital.

Adebowale,
from Greenwich, south east London, was arrested on suspicion of the
