A Muslim couple were jailed today for glorifying the murder of Lee Rigby in videos posted on YouTube.
Rebekah Dawson, 22, and her husband Royal Barnes, 23, recorded and uploaded three videos shortly after the murder in Woolwich, south east London, last May.
Barnes was jailed for five years and four months at the Old Bailey after pleading guilty last month to three counts of disseminating a terrorist publication and one of inciting murder.
His wife, who insisted on wearing her veil in court, admitted charges of disseminating a terrorist publication and was sentenced to 20 months in prison.
Judge Brian Barker QC told them the videos they made were 'offensive in the extreme'.
He said the couple showed 'a total and continuing disregard' for how their actions might affect the family of trooper Rigby, those people who witnessed the murder and the British public.
