Man, 25, Charged With Murder Of UK Lawmaker David Amess

Ali Harbi Ali, who was arrested at the scene of the killing in London last Friday, also faces a separate charge of preparing acts of terrorism.

A 25-year-old man has been charged with murder, after British MP David Amess was stabbed to death last week, the Crown Prosecution Service and police said on Thursday.

Ali Harbi Ali, who was arrested at the scene of the killing in Leigh-on-Sea, east of London, last Friday, also faces a separate charge of preparing acts of terrorism.

He was due to appear before magistrates in central London later on Thursday.

Amess, a 69-year-old father-of-five, was killed as he met constituents at a church hall, in the second such death of a British MP in the last five years.
