Sir David Amess: Ali Harbi Ali found guilty of ‘cold and calculating’ murder of Tory MP

A homegrown terrorist has been found guilty of stabbing Sir David Amess to death and plotting to attack other MPs including Michael Gove.

Islamic State fanatic Ali Harbi Ali, 26, carried out the “cold and calculating” murder at the veteran MP’s constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15 last year.

He told the Old Bailey trial he had no regrets about the murder, defending his actions by saying Sir David deserved to die as a result of voting in Parliament for air strikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015.
