Sir David Amess killer is named as Ali Harbi Ali

The terror suspect arrested following the killing of Conservative MP Sir David Amess is the son of a former senior Somali government official, Sky News understands.

Ali Harbi Ali’s father, Harbi Ali Kullane, declined to comment when asked by Sky News about his son, a 25-year-old British national, in an exchange of written messages on Saturday other than to say that he was "traumatised".

A Sky News correspondent who knocked at an address in London where he is believed to be staying, received no reply on Sunday morning.
