Sir David Amess killer Ali Harbi Ali found GUILTY of murdering Tory MP at church

A terrorist has been found guilty of murdering Sir David Amess at a constituency surgery last year.

Ali Harbi Ali, 26, travelled to Leigh-on-Sea in Essex on October 15 last year and stabbed the veteran Conservative backbencher 21 times with a 12-inch carving knife in front of his aide, before being tackled to the floor by plain-clothes police officers.

Ali, from North London, is said to have chosen Sir David as a target after going through a list of MPs who voted in favour of airstrikes on Syria in the mid-2010s.
