A restaurant worker - details of the killers emerge

0 From left, London Bridge killers Rachid Redouane, Khuram Shazad Butt and Youssef Zaghba ri, 42, said she had reported Butt to anti-terror police over fears he was attempting to radicalise schoolchildren, after challenging him in a park near a school.

A friend told the BBC Asian Network he reported Butt to the anti-terror hotline after he began expressing increasingly radical views and jus- tifying terror attacks, but he was never arrested.

Another acquaintance recalled the “wonderful guy” playing football in the park with him and his children.

Police said Butt had appeared on the radar of security services but was in “the lower echelons of our investigative work”. Barking-based Redouane, 30, claimed to be Moroccanlibyan, and also went by the name Rachid Elkhdar, claiming to be six years younger. Security sources in Ireland confirmed he married a British woman in Dublin in 2012 and lived in Rathmines, Dublin.

When he wed Charisse Ann O’leary, 38, on 7 November 2012 in the city’s Civil Registration Service office, he gave his address as Grosvenor Square in Rathmines.

Redouane, reportedly a former pastry chef, is said to have had a 17-month-old daughter with his former wife. Redouane left Ireland after the wedding and may have travelled to Morocco before settling in the UK. A 22-year-old Italian national of Moroccan descent was living in east London and reportedly worked in a restaurant in the capital.

The Corriere della Sera newspaper said Fez-born Zaghba’s Italian mother lived in the northern city of Bologna, having parted from his father and left their Moroccan home.

It reported that he was stopped by Italian police in March last year at Bologna’s airport trying to get to Syria via Turkey, and that this was communicated by Italian intelligence to their UK counterparts.

But Scotland Yard said he was not a police or MI5 “subject of interest”.
