KHALID Masood’s wife yesterday declared she “totally condemns” his Westminste­r terror.

Rohey Hydara said she was “saddened and shocked” by his car and knife killing spree which left four dead.

Ms Hydara, 39, added in a statement released through police: “I express my condolence­s to the families of the victims that have died, and wish a speedy recovery to all the injured.’’

She spoke out 24 hours after Masood’s mum, Janet Ajao, 69, said she had “shed many tears” for her son’s victims.

The Muslim convert, 52, mowed down and killed three victims as he sped across Westminste­r Bridge in a Hyundai 4x4 at up to 76mph last Wednesday.

After crashing the car into a wall he burst into the grounds of Parliament wielding two knives and killed unarmed Pc Keith Palmer, 48, before being shot dead.

His 82-second rampage left more than 50 injured.

Police say there is no evidence linking Masood’s attack to Islamic State even though the terror network has claimed responsibi­lity.

Police were last night still quizzing two men, aged 58 and 30, in connection with the attack after JPs granted them extra time.

The inquests for the victims will be opened and adjourned today.
