Michael Adebowale and his accomplice Michael Adebolajo ran down the solider, a father-of-one, with a car before launching a brutal machete attack on him near his barracks in Woolwich, South East London. The former was given 45 years in jail for his part in the bloody attack.

The 37-year-old is currently holed in HMP Wakefield, otherwise known as Monster Mansion, but he wants to return to his parent’s native land. According to The Sun, Adebowale has even written to immigration experts asking for their advice.
