Tributes to the victims of the Finsbury Park Mosque attack.
SHARE:
Darren Osbourne has appeared in court this week, and denies the charges of murder and attempted murder. The prosecution are treating the attack as an act of terrorism.
The court played a 999 call of a man reporting that Makram Ali, 51, had collapsed shortly after a service. Whilst he was being assisted, a crowd had formed around him and the attacker drove into the crowd while Mr. Mohamud was on the phone to the emergency services.
In the audio of the call, a commotion can be heard in the background as the events unfolded.
One of the key witnesses, the Imam of the Muslim Welfare Centre spoke of the “chaos” that he found when he went to the scene of the attack.
He described how ten to fifteen men were kicking and punching the attacker and had to be asked to stop so that he could be passed to the police “unscathed”. He told them that the attacker must be handed over so that his judgement could take place in a court of law and not on a court of the streets.
Mr Osborne sat quietly as the witness statements were read out, but shook his head from side to side when one of the witnesses explained how he had originally came from Somalia to work in England.
The trial continues.
