British prosecutors said on Thursday they had authorised police to charge Ali Harbi Ali, 25, with murder of lawmaker David Amess, who was stabbed to death on Friday at a meeting in his constituency.
โWe will submit to the court that this murder has a terrorist connection, namely that it had both religious and ideological motivations,โ Nick Price, Head of the Crown Prosecution Service Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division.
โHe has also been charged with the preparation of terrorist acts. This follows a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.โ
