An electrician has described the moment he set eyes on the knife-wielding and blood drenched London Bridge attacker Usman Khan.
The inquests into the deaths of Cambridge University graduates Saskia Jones, 23, and Jack Merritt, 25, who were killed by convicted terrorist Khan at a prisoner rehabilitation event at Fishmongers Hall near London Bridge on November 29 2019, resumed today.
Khan, 28, was armed with two knives and wore a fake suicide vest as he stabbed Ms Jones and Mr Merritt to death and injured three others at a prisoner rehabilitation event near London Bridge on November 29, 2019.
Simon Bird, a maintenance electrician working at Fishmongers Hall on the day of the atrocity, said he heard Khan shouting for the front doors to be opened to escape onto London Bridge.
