The Sun reported that the 29-year-old Islamic terrorist was removed from Broadmoor Hospital in Crowthorne, last week following a deterioration in his condition after he contracted Covid-19.

Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo ran over the 25-year-old soldier close to Woolwich Barracks in May 2013 before stabbing him to death in broad daylight.

The father-of-one died as a result of multiple cut and stab wounds after the attack fuelled by Adebowale and Adebolajo’s extremist beliefs, described as a “betrayal of Islam” at their murder trial in 2014.

Last year, Adebowale pleaded guilty to punching a healthcare assistant while being held in the secure hospital on July 20 last year.

Adebowale was given an eight-month prison sentence by Mr Justice Jay which will be served after his 45-year minimum term for the murder of the soldier in Woolwich in 2013.

He is currently serving his sentence.
