A jury has convicted a British-born Muslim of the murder of Catholic MP Sir David Amess and for preparing acts of terrorism.
Ali Harbi Ali, 26, of Kentish Town in north London, said he was motivated by targeting MPs who had voted in favour of airstrikes in Syria.
Sir David was stabbed more than 20 times during the Oct. 15, 2021 attack. The MP was meeting with constituents at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
Paramedics attended to Sir David for more than two-and-a-half hours before an air ambulance arrived to take him to a hospital. He died at the age of 69.
