The mother of one of the men suspected of butchering a British solider on a London street desperately battled to turn him against extremism after becoming concerned by his behaviour, it has been claimed. Friends say Juliet Obasuyi was worried Michael Adebowale was turning against the family and wanted him to have 'spiritual guidance' before he radicalised himself. The 43-year-old was often left in tears after speaking to her son and would approach neighbours and friends for help.
