Drummer Lee Rigby was hacked to death like he was a “joint of meat”, the Old Bailey was told on Friday.
The 25-year-old was virtually decapitated by two Islamists in broad daylight on May 22, the court heard.
Witnesses described a “horrific and frenzied attack” as he was mown down by a car from behind before being attacked with a meat cleaver and knives.
The court was told how passers-by could not believe what they were seeing as Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, dragged Drummer Rigby’s body into the middle of the road in Woolwich, south-east London.
There were gasps in Court Number 2 as CCTV footage was shown for the first time of how a Vauxhall Tigra, allegedly driven by Adebolajo, of Lewisham, south-east London, veered across the road and hit the soldier at 30 to 40mph.
