Drummer Lee Rigby's Cause of Death Confirmed 29.05.13
13Police investigating the "shocking and horrific" murder of Drummer Lee Rigby issued a new appeal for information today as they confirmed the soldier died from multiple stab wounds.

Fresh details were released after it emerged that three firearms officers involved in the shooting of the men suspected of the murder could be back on duty within weeks.
Michael Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo were both shot in the wake of the brutal murder near Woolwich barracks. Adebowale was discharged from hospital and taken into police custody yesterday, while Adebolajo remains in hospital.
Police are due to question Adebowale, 22, who had already been arrested on suspicion of his murder but has been further arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer
Relatives of Adebolajo released a statement sending their "heartfelt condolence" to Drummer Rigby's family, and saying there is no place for violence in the name of religion.
The Adebolajo family said: "Nothing we can say can undo the events of last week. However, as a family, we wish to share with others our horror at the senseless killing of Lee Rigby, and express our profound shame and distress that this has brought to our family. We send our heartfelt condolence to Lee Rigby's family and loved ones."
