- By AMY WATSON

The wife of Westminste­r attacker Khalid Masood has said she is “saddened and shocked” by the atrocity, saying she “condemns” his actions.

In a statement released through the Metropolit­an Police, Rohey Hydara said: “I express my condolence­s to the families of the victims that have died, and wish a speedy recovery to all the injured.”

Masood, 52, killed four people in an 82-second rampage in Westminste­r last Wednesday before he was shot dead by armed police.

Two men, aged 58 and 30, arrested at two addresses in Birmingham following the atrocity on suspicion of preparatio­n of terrorist acts remain in custody.

The inquests for the victims and also for Masood will open and adjourn at Westminste­r’s Coroner Court on Wednesday.
