What happened on Friday?

Usman Khan, 28, from Staffordshire, was released from prison in December last year after being convicted of terrorism offences, before going on to stab two people to death while wearing a fake suicide jacket Friday.

Killer Khan was a guest at a Cambridge University conference on prisoner rehabilitation when he launched the attack at historic Fishmongers' Hall in central London.

Those at the event at the Grade II listed building said he entered the main hall and went on a rampage, attacking anyone who crossed his path, just before 2pm.

He then made his way on to London Bridge - the scene of the 2017 terror attack which killed eight - but was eventually pinned down by heroes who tackled him with a fire extinguisher and a whale tusk.

A man and a woman were killed during the attack while three other people - a man and two women - remain in hospital.
