A new photo of PC Keith Palmer emerges, as the birth name of his attacker is revealed as Adrian Russell Ajao.
A “final” picture of PC Keith Palmer taken shortly before he was killed in the Westminster attack has emerged.
The photo was taken by US tourist Staci Martin as she posed with the officer 45 minutes before he was stabbed by Khalid Masood outside Parliament.
It has now emerged Masood, 52, was born Adrian Russell Ajao in Dartford, Kent. It is said he used a number of aliases and was known to police.
PC Palmer, 48, was one of four victims who died after Wednesday’s attack.
Masood drove into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing his car into railings and then running into the grounds of Parliament, armed with a knife, where he was shot dead by police.
Aysha Frade, a teacher in her 40s, and US tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, were killed on Wednesday, while a 75-year-old man died on Thursday evening after his life support machine was turned off. He was named on Friday as Leslie Rhodes, from Streatham in south London.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd and London Mayor Sadiq Khan joined hundreds of people at a candlelit vigil in Trafalgar Square on Thursday evening to remember the people who lost their lives.
In total, 10 people have been arrested, of which nine remain in custody and being questioned by police.
Ms Martin was on a visit from Florida to London when she asked to take a picture with the officer outside Parliament.
“It’s my first time in London and I see his hat and I’m like I have to take a picture of him with his hat,” she told ABC News.
“I walked up to him and said ‘do you mind if I take a picture?’ He said ‘no problem’, he was really nice. ”
Less than an hour later, Ms Martin was in a taxi when she heard there had been a shooting and saw a helicopter and emergency vehicles.
She recognised PC Palmer from the photo released after it was confirmed he had been killed in the attack.
Ms Martin believes the picture with the officer must be one of the last photos of him taken alive and she feels “obligated” to get it to his family, adding: “I just want to make sure they have that of him. ”
PC Palmer’s family said in a statement he would be remembered as a “wonderful dad and husband”.
A JustGiving page set up for the family of PC Palmer has raised more than £360,000 in less than 48 hours.
The Met said that as a mark of respect, the constable’s shoulder number, 4157U, would be retired and not reissued to any other officer.
