Woolwich Soldier Murder: Date Set For Pleas

By Tom Parmenter, Sky News Correspondent

Two men accused of hacking a soldier to death near a military barracks in Woolwich will be asked to enter a plea in September.

Michael Adebolajo, 28, of Romford, Essex, and Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, London, are both charged with the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in May.

They spoke only to confirm their names as they appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from separate rooms at HMP Belmarsh.

The men were told a plea and case management hearing would take place on September 27. They are expected to stand trial on November 18.

Drummer Rigby was attacked as he returned to base after working at the Tower of London.

An inquest heard the soldier, who was 25, suffered such "extensive and serious" injuries that he had to be identified using his dental records.

Adebolajo and Adebowale are also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used.

Adebolajo faces further charges for the attempted murder of two police officers.

He appeared to still have his left arm in a bandage after being shot by armed officers at the scene of Drummer Rigby's death.

Members of Drummer Rigby's family were in court for the short hearing.

The case was adjourned.
