Man pleads guilty to Lee Rigby videos

Royal Barnes has pleaded guilty to posting videos on YouTube glorifying the killing of Fusilier Lee Rigby.

Barnes, 23, of Hackney, east London, recorded and uploaded three videos shortly after the murder in Woolwich, south-east London, last May.

In one of the videos, he hailed the murder as a "brilliant day" and in another he mocked the outpouring of public grief, the Old Bailey heard.

His wife Rebekah Dawson, 22, also uploaded the videos online.

The trial has been adjourned for sentencing reports to be prepared.

In one of the videos posted under his account Musa Real Talks, Barnes laughed uncontrollably as he drove past floral tributes for Fusilier Rigby.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of disseminating a terrorist publication and one of inciting murder.

His wife, who had insisted on wearing a veil in court, had admitted disseminating a terrorist publication at a previous hearing and is awaiting sentence.

The court was shown three videos, the first one included a clip of one of the Woolwich murderers talking with a knife in his hand in front of Fusilier Rigby's body. Following the footage Barnes appears on camera warning David Cameron that the attack would not be the last.

Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, will be sentenced later this month after they were found guilty of murdering Fusilier Rigby.

The British Muslim converts ran the soldier down in a car before hacking him to death with a meat cleaver and knives in a frenzied attack.
