Lee Rigby's murderer wants £100,000 'blood money' over allegations that prison officers left him mentally scarred.

Michael Adebolajo, 32, who murdered the fusilier Mr Rigby, 25, in Woolwich, south east London, in 2013, lost his two front teeth when prison staff tried to restrain him four years ago.

He has now officially launched a court writ in which he claims he was left with a 'psychiatric injury'.

And Mr Rigby's mother, Lyn, 50, hit out at her son's killer and said he deserves to 'die in jail'. Adebolajo, wants £25,000 in compensation after claiming to 'suffer distress, loss and damage' on remand at London's top-security Belmarsh jail.

But he has been fighting the battle for two years and it could cost the taxpayer a further £75,000 in police and legal costs. 

The writ has now been officially passed on to the High Court in London. It claims that while Adebolajo, who killed Mr Rigby with Michael Adebowale, 26, was being escorted back to his cell after a phone call he dropped his hands from his head and spun round to confront officers.

He warned staff to 'watch themselves' and asked 'Allah to strike down his oppressors'.

The killer claims he was 'verbally abused' before he was smashed into bars of his cell windows. He also claimed officers twisted his left arm and that he was 'stamped on' in an 'unreasonable, unjustified and excessive' assault. 

The Crown Prosecution Service ruled out action against the five prison officers after a police investigation. 

A Ministry of Justice spokesman told The sun, 'The public will be rightly outraged at the thought of this offender claiming compensation from the taxpayer. Lyn told the newspaper: 'This is gut-wrenching for me, my family and Lee's ­memory. And still he holds his hand out for blood money.

'He deserves not a penny from the state. The only thing he deserves is to die in jail.

'He lost a few teeth because he was violent and brought under control. Lee lost his life and I lost my son at his hands. O

At least five have been killed including two children after a massive 8.1 earthquake struck off the south coast of Mexico triggering a tsunami.

The earthquake was felt across Mexico, toppling houses and shaking buildings in the country's capital amid reports tremors were detected as a far away as Austin, Texas - more than 1,300 miles from the epicentre.

A tsunami has already been detected in Mexico after the quake struck at 11.49pm last night, 76 miles southwest of the town of Pijijiapan, at a depth of 43 miles.

Terrified residents in Mexico City ran out into the streets after the quake struck, witnesses said. Tremors were stronger than a devastating earthquake in 1985 that hit the capital flattening swathes of the city and killing thousands. 

The US Tsunami Warning System said widespread hazardous tsunami waves were possible within the next three hours on the Pacific coasts of several central American countries - Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador and Honduras. 

As far as 8700 miles away in the Philippines, the national disaster agency put the country's entire eastern seaboard on alert. Another tsunami warning centre said a tsunami had already developed in Mexico, with the largest wave measured at 2.3ft. 

The death toll has already risen to at least five people, including two children in Tabasco state.

Tabasco Gov. Arturo Nunez said that one of the children died when a wall collapsed, and the other was a baby who died in a children's hospital that lost electricity, cutting off the supply to the infant's ventilator.

The other three deaths were in Chiapas state, in San Cristobal de las Casas.

Elsewhere, terrified residents fled into the streets amid chaotic scenes in the wake of the huge tremor. 

'The house moved like chewing gum and the light and internet went out momentarily,' said Rodrigo Soberanes, who lives near San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas, a poor, largely indigenous state popular with tourists.

Chiapas Gov. Manuel Velasco told television station Televisa the roofs of homes and a shopping centre had collapsed in San Cristobal. 

Prime Minister Theresa May has upped Britain's Hurrican Irma aid package to £32million.

The category five storm is continuing to tear a deadly trail through the Caribbean. It has already left thousands homeless after destroying buildings and uprooting trees.

Mrs May's response came after the UK Government was slammed over its 'pathetic' response.

Britain has sent aircraft, helicopters, Marines and engineers to the Caribbean. Mrs May said her 'thoughts and prayers' were with all those affected. 

At least 10 people have died, including one in Anguilla, a British overseas territory that was among the first islands to be hit.

The Queen said: 'Prince Philip and I have been shocked and saddened by the reports of the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma.

'Our thoughts and prayers are with all those whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed or adversely affected by this terrible storm.

'Please convey my gratitude and good wishes to members of the emergency services and to those who are working on the rescue effort at this very difficult time for you all. Elizabeth is the constitutional monarch of Antigua and Barbuda - a ceremonial role.

The Foreign Office today insisted Britain was doing its 'utmost' to bring urgent assistance after the category five storm caused devastation in the Caribbean.

A meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee to coordinate the response is being chaired today by Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon after Prime Minister Theresa May spoke about it with French President Emmanuel Macron. 

But the money towards the relief effort came after Dorothea Hodge, the former UK representative to Anguilla, criticised Britain's response as 'absolutely disgraceful'. 'In comparison to the French president who has set up an emergency fund, an emergency hotline and a reconstruction fund her response after the storm has passed is absolutely pathetic.'

Yesterday, international development secretary Ms Patel said three UK humanitarian experts and a British naval ship would be sent to the region.

But Josephine Gumbs-Connor, who is a lawyer on British-owned Anguilla, told BBC Radio 4 today that the response from the UK has been 'sorely lacking'.

She said Anguilla was 'utterly devastated' and has been left 'in absolute pieces', adding: 'Hurricane Irma, was off the charts in terms of strength. 

A Commonwealth Games swimmer raped a woman after she had just had sex with a swimmer from the Team GB Olympic team, a court heard.

Top athlete Otto Putland, 23, is accused of jumping into bed after the woman had consensual sex with Ieuan Lloyd.

The woman had gone back to the home of Mr Lloyd - a two-time Olympian who competed at London 2012 and Rio 2016

But a court heard how Mr Lloyd's friend Putland then went into the same bedroom to have sex with the woman at a house in Cardiff, Wales. 

She refused and told Putland she wouldn't be 'passed around' but he is accused of stripping naked before putting on a condom and raping her twice.

The woman told police that after having sex with Mr Lloyd, Putland came into the bedroom and sat on the bed.

She said: 'He lay on the bed, took his clothes off and started kissing me. I felt uncomfortable.

'I said: 'What are you doing? You can't pass me around'.'

Putland allegedly told the woman: 'You're not being passed around,' and the woman told him she did not want to have sex with him.

The court heard she then texted a friend saying: 'Help, I think something might happen. Putland then allegedly stripped naked while the woman covered herself up with her hands and started crying.

But Putland allegedly put on a condom and told the woman: 'It's okay, we don't have to have sex, we can just kiss'.

The woman told police Putland tried to kiss her twice and then began raping her.

She said that the sex went on for two to three minutes before the woman left to go to the bathroom.

Cardiff Crown Court heard she later fell asleep but woke to find Putland raping her again, but she was able to push him off and leave the house. Putland, who represented Wales in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, was arrested in November 2016, 16 months after the alleged incident.

He denies two counts of rape and says the sex was consensual.

Putland told the jury the woman had consensual sex with him after being 'flirtatious' with him when they met in a nightclub.

He said: 'Ieuan introduced us and there was general chit-chat but I can't remember the details of what was said. She was talking to me normally.

'Ieuan left the room and I moved up to the headboard side of the bed, I was slouching on the bed next to her and I think she was doing the same.

hurricane lrma is currently wreaking havoc in the Caribbean, and it’s not pardoning properties owned by the commander in chief.

One of Donald Trump’s vacation homes, known as Le Chateau des Palmiers, was in the direct path of the category 5 hurricane as it hit the island of St. Martin Wednesday morning, The state of the property, which is currently listed for sale with Sptheby International  Realty for $16.9 million after being slashed from the original $28 million asking price earlier this summer, is currently unknown. However, a government official confirms even the island’s strongest structures were devastated by the storm. 

Hurricane Irma howled past Puerto Rico with 185mph winds after reducing the tiny tropical islands of Barbuda and St Martin to rubble and claiming at least eight lives.

The category 5 storm - the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic - left a trail of deadly devastation through the Caribbean when it struck on Wednesday on a potential collision course with south Florida. 

Barbuda and St Martin suffered the storm's full fury with roughly 95 per cent of properties destroyed on both islands. Officials said at least six people died on the French part of St Martin - a pristine resort known for its vibrant nightlife.

'It's an enormous catastrophe. Ninety-five percent of the island is destroyed,' top local official Daniel Gibbs said. 'I'm in shock. It's frightening.'

The island, which is divided between the Netherlands and France, was left without drinking water or electricity, and the death toll is expected to rise.

Barbuda, part of the twin island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, also suffered 'absolute devastation' and is 'barely habitable' with more than 90 per cent of dwellings completely destroyed and one child killed. 

This morning, the United Nations said up to 49 million people are in the hurricane's path as aid agencies prepare for a 'major humanitarian response'.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said the UK is 'taking swift action to respond' to the disaster after speaking to the chief minister of Anguilla, a British overseas territory that was among the first islands to be hit. A British naval ship has been deployed to help deal with the aftermath with 40 Royal Marines on board, as well as army engineers and equipment, as authorities struggle to bring aid to smaller islands. 'It is just a total devastation. Barbuda is literally rubble,' Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne told ABS TV Radio in Antigua.

He added that the island, which is home to 1,800 people, was left 'barely habitable'. 

'The entire housing stock was damaged... Some have lost whole roofs. Some properties have been totally demolished,' he said. 

'We have estimated the rebuilding efforts to be no less than $150 million. That is conservative, because we're talking about rebuilding everything, all of the institutions, the infrastructure, the telecommunications, the roads... Even the hotels on the island, those are totally demolished, as well. It is terrible. 

A six-year-old girl died from meningitis after nearly a two-hour wait to see a doctor who then dismissed her rash as 'just a bruise'.

Layla-Rose Ermenekli had what was later described as one of the 'worst cases of meningitis' doctors had ever seen.

She was rushed to A&E at the Royal Oldham Hospital by her mother Kirsty with a high temperature, headache and stomach ache. 

When she finally was seen, a rash – a tell-tale sign of the deadly infection that can kill in hours – was spotted on her hip, but the doctor did not make a written note nor speak to her mother about it.

Layla-Rose was diagnosed with a 'viral illness' and Kirsty, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was told her daughter was fit to go home.

Staff had a u-turn and she was kept in, but within 12 hours, her heart stopped beating and she passed away from meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia.

A damning internal report by the hospital has now revealed there were 'missed opportunities' to accurately diagnose her which lead to a fateful three-and-a-half-hour delay in treatment. Kirsty brought her daughter to the hospital at around 8.30pm on February 3. 

After a 25-minute wait to see a triage nurse, the youngster was assessed as needing to see a doctor within 10 minutes. But delays meant it was an hour and 50 minutes before that happened. 

After the first doctor was prepared to send her home, a sister nurse in charge felt uncomfortable and she was instead transferred to the paediatrics ward.

After another wait, Layla-Rose was assessed by a junior doctor, who picked up on the rash on her hip, but was told by the previous doctor it was just a bruise and not a new symptom.

But 30 minutes later, another locum doctor noted the rash, inserted a cannula, took bloods and administered antibiotics for sepsis.

The rash on Layla-Rose's body began to spread rapidly and she then went into cardiac arrest, before she was pronounced dead on the morning of February 4.

The internal report by carried out by the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust found doctors used an old document when assessing Layla-Rose. It also states the mother's concerns were not listened to, while there were two missed opportunities to recognise the rash.

The report said: 'The doctor who saw the patient initially did not recognise the rash, which was not documented at the time as being of a worrying nature, as a result the diagnosis of sepsis was missed for three-and-a-half hours, during which treatment opportunities were missed. 

Kirsty, who was pregnant at the time of the incident, has been forced to give up her job as a beautician following the tragedy.

The family have raised more than £10,000 for charity Meningitis Now and are campaigning for all children under the age of 16 to receive inoculation for meningococcal D.

A statement from Kirsty and Layla-Rose's father Ramazan Ermenekli said: 'Layla-Rose was a much loved, bright, beautiful daughter and sister. She had many friends and loved to dance.

'In addition to the fundraising and inoculation campaign the family hopes that the tragic events giving rise to Layla-Rose's death will bring about patient safety at Royal Oldham.'

Family friend Hannah Morrey has previously described Layla-Rose as having 'a cheeky, infectious laugh and beautiful smile'.

Richard Branson is preparing to retreat to his wine cellar as the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic heads towards his Necker Island complex. 

The billionaire Virgin boss has already announced he will not leave his home on the British Virgin Islands despite Hurricane Irma - which is the size of France - threatening 'potentially catastrophic' as it lashes the Caribbean with 185mph winds.

Speaking of his experience last night, Branson - who is staying with an entire team of staff on the island - said the 'howling wind and rain' battered his home and created an 'eerie but beautiful' atmosphere. 

He wrote on his blog today: 'We are expecting to get the full force of the hurricane in around five hours’ time, when we will retreat to a concrete wine cellar under the Great House. 'Knowing our wonderful team as I do, I suspect there will be little wine left in the cellar when we all emerge.'

He added: 'The strength of this hurricane is unheard of.

'Everyone is willing the eye of the storm to veer away from the BVI [British Virgin Islands] in these last few hours. As I wrote yesterday, our main concern is safety, for everyone here and for all the people in the BVI and in the path of the hurricane.  All of us slept together in two rooms. I haven't had a sleepover quite like it since I was a kid.' 

He said that, despite worries about the storm's severity, he considers it a 'privilege' to weather 'possibly the strongest storm ever' with a 'great group of young people'. 

He said: 'We were listening to the parrots in their boxes in the next room chattering away. Watching the tortoises congregating together, as if they sense what is coming our way.'  But Branson is not the only notable figure with something to lose in the storm - a host of celebrities could see their homes wrecked by Hurricane Irma as it smashes into the Caribbean.

Mass evacuations are set to take place in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean after the hurricane - the size of France - was declared the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean with 185mph winds.

This morning, the 'potentially catastrophic' hurricane slammed into Barbuda just hours after officials warned people to seek protection from Irma's 'onslaught' in a statement that closed with: 'May God protect us all.' Aid agencies, meanwhile, are bracing for a 'major humanitarian response'.  

Homes belonging to the likes of Johnny Depp, David Copperfield, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and even President Donald Trump could also be hit.

The Miami-based National Hurricane Center reported that the storm is headed northwest toward the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico with potential for storm surges of up to 20 feet above normal tide levels. 

A woman has been charged with fraudulently claiming funds intended for the survivors of the Grenfell blaze.

Joyce Msokeri, from Sutton in south London, allegedly claimed her husband died in the tower block fire and obtained more than £10,000 allocated for victims.

It is alleged she also falsely claimed to have a child in intensive care following the west London blaze in June. At least 80 people died and dozens of homes were destroyed in the tragedy.

Msokeri, 46, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with seven counts of fraud.

The charges allege she made false representations to Kensington and Chelsea council for money and accommodation at the Hilton hotel.

She is also accused of making false representations to charities in order to obtain clothing and food, to hospitals that she was the wife of a patient, to HMRC and a GP surgery in Kensington and Chelsea.

District judge Elizabeth Roscoe has sent the case to crown court.

Msokeri was arrested on 26 July and will next appear at Southwark Crown Court on 3 October.

Rapper Stormzy called Theresa May a liar last night by describing as being a 'paigon' after he was presented with the best solo artist prize at the GQ Men of the year awards. 

The 24-year-old was given the award by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and he was quick to mention the Prime Minister in his acceptance speech.  

At first, some fans believed the grime artist called her a 'pig' and a 'pagan' but others were quick to point out he said 'paigon' - slang for someone who lies and pretends to be a friend.

Mr Corbyn, 57, could be seen giggling on the stage behind him as the grime artist continued his speech at the Tate Modern in London. Stormzy said: 'It's so incredible to be here for everyone. Big up Jeremy Corbyn. 

'I do want to use this to say that Theresa May is a paigon and you know what we're doing right now. 

'Yeah, trust me. Yeah, it's awkward when I say that isn't it, yeah?'

He added: 'GQ man of the year award, solo artist of the year award. I'm so blessed to be here. I just want to thank god, thank my mum, thank my whole team.

'I can't even believe it. Your boy is on the cover of GC, south London boy, this is incredible. Thank you so much, man. Love.'
