Michael Adebolajo, one of the two men found guilty of killing Fusilier Lee Rigby, has lost a legal challenge against his conviction.

Adebolajo had been seeking leave to appeal the verdict. He is also challenging his whole-life sentence.

He and Michael Adebowale killed the soldier outside Woolwich barracks in south-east London in May 2013.

Adebowale is also arguing for a reduction in his sentence. He was jailed for a minimum of 45 years.

Last month, a report found Fusilier Rigby's death could not have been prevented despite his killers appearing in seven intelligence investigations.

The report, by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), revealed Adebowale had expressed his intent to murder a soldier in a "graphic and emotive" manner during an exchange with an overseas extremist in December 2012.

The intelligence agencies did not know about this exchange, understood to have been on Facebook, until after Fusilier Rigby's death.

Fusilier Rigby was killed on 22 May last year.

Adebolajo and Adebowale drove into the 25-year-old before hacking him to death.

At the time of his sentencing, Mr Justice Sweeney said Adebolajo's was one of those "rare cases" warranting a whole-life term.
