The father of the man arrested for David Amess’ stabbing was a former political advisor to one of Somalia’s PMs. He said the present situation with his son was ‘unprecedented and horrific’.
Ali Harbi Ali, the son of an ex-media adviser to a former prime minister of Somalia, has been arrested by British police under anti-terrorism laws following the killing of lawmaker David Amess, a source close to the investigation and British media said.
Amess, aged 69, was knifed repeatedly as he met constituency voters in a church on Friday in Leigh-on-Sea, east of London.
He was part of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party, and his death sent shock waves through the British parliament and public.
The outpouring of love for Sir David Amess in his constituency shows just how much he meant to the place that he was so obviously proud to represent. This morning @Jas_Athwal and I laid wreaths in his memory.
