‘Police killing of terrorist was lawful’

- BY TOM PETTIFOR Chief Crime Correspond­ent

MURDERER Khalid Masood WESTMINSTE­R terrorist Khalid Masood was lawfully killed when he was shot by police, an inquest jury has found.

The 52-year-old Muslim convert mowed down pedestrian­s on Westminste­r Bridge in a hired SUV, killing four and seriously injuring 29 last March.

He then stabbed unarmed PC Keith Palmer to death before being shot by a minister’s bodyguard.

An Old Bailey jury of seven men and four women took two hours and 22 minutes to find Masood was lawfully killed, adding a narrative of the events up to his death.

They found that Masood was intent on inflicting “serious harm” when he stormed the gates to the Palace of Westminste­r. WARNING Mrs May
