Nigerian Community In Britain Gives Support To Drummer Ridby's Family.

The two suspects in the killing, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, both have family links with Nigeria. Adebolajo was born in Britain to a Nigerian immigrant family and Adebowale is a naturalised British citizen born in Nigeria.
The family of murdered British soldier Lee Rigby today paid an emotional visit to the scene where he was hacked to death.
Drummer Rigby's mother Lyn, stepfather Ian and estranged wife Rebecca looked at the thousands of tributes in Woolwich and left a balloon from his two-year-old son Jack saying 'Dad in a million'.

The relatives arrived at the place where he was killed at 12.40pm. They hugged and comforted each other before crossing the road to look at the spot where he was murdered on Wednesday.

One clutched a teddy bear, while others held baskets of flowers which they left at the scene. They then spent a few moments in reflection, still clutching each other.

And among the masses of poignant messages left in south-east London, one very personal message was placed separately yesterday. Aimee West, his fiancée, laid flowers with a handwritten note.
n it, she said that Rigby will 'always have her heart' and that he was her 'guardian angel', before signing it off as his 'Princess'.

Miss West, 22, who had flown back to the UK from Afghanistan, wore a green hooded top and an engagement ring as she took her time to read the tributes to her murdered partner.

She was helped with the tribute by around 20 friends, who stood quietly as she paid her respects.
