THE Glasgow knife attacker was pictured for the first time yesterday.

Badreddin Abadlla Adam was shot dead by police shortly after stabbing six in the Park Inn hotel.

LIZ Hurley’s 18-year-old son Damian was reportedly written a note by his multi-millionair­e father just hours before his death.

Steve Bing also wrote to Damian’s half-sister Kira Kerkorian Bing before falling from the 27th floor of his ultra-modern apartment building.

American TV host Billy Bush revealed the investor, who was worth £482million, left “one note for each kid”.

The building manager and Los Angeles police are understood to have passed the letters on.

Bush said: “I have friends that were friends with him. Steve had depression with a capital D.

“The whole coronaviru­s thing was definitely a factor. It really messed with him.

“Another source told me he was very depressed. Close friends are shocked at his death. Sources told Extra he suffered from bipolar disorder.”

The celebrity interviewe­r admitted: “I talked to some of his friends and they were shocked that he moved from downtown to Beverly Hills.

“He was a reclusive guy and then he went to the most social building in all of Beverly Hills, with celebrity lawyers, seeker from Sudan said they had fears over his mental state in the hours before the attack in West George Street on Friday afternoon.

A friend named only as Almadi said Adam’s family were “shocked” rappers and all kinds of people in there. And there was money trouble.”

Investor Mr Bing fell from a balcony of the plush 10,000 Santa Monica Boulevard Building – known in LA as the 10K – last Monday.

Ex-girlfriend Sharon Stone told Bush: “This is really hard. He was a complicate­d person who I didn’t think always made good decisions. It is a tough one. It’s a very tough one.” Damian thanked his social media followers for their “overwhelmi­ng kindness” on Saturday.

He wrote: “Your love and support has helped me greatly during this challengin­g time.”

The model had shared a message about his dad’s death, saying: “This is a strange and confusing time. I’m immensely grateful to be surrounded by my phenomenal family and friends.” Damian could become the world’s richest teenager if he inherits just a fraction of his dad’s wealth.

He was born after a whirlwind romance between his parents that began in 2000.

Mr Bing initially denied he was the father, but a DNA test proved his paternity. Before his death, it was claimed he never met Damian.

and hope the injured victims will be back with their families soon.

He said that Adam had been miserable in lockdown and was suffering from “mental issues”.

The Park Inn was being used to house asylum seekers during the coronaviru­s pandemic.

Adam, who also used the name Omar, was described as a “troubled loner” who had been self-isolating for a month fearing he had Covid-19.
