Lee Rigby's evil killer has finally admitted he is "sorry" and told of his regret at taking the innocent soldier's life.
Radical Michael Adebolajo has admitted his remorse in a dramatic u-turn after five years in jail - and plans on penning a letter of apology to Lee's family.
The former Christian claims he "misinterpreted" the holy Quran and no longer wants to be known by his Islamic name, Mujahid Abu Hamza.
Adebolajo, 33, and accomplice Michael Adebowale, now 27, spotted Lee wearing a Help for Heroes hoodie and mowed him down in their car.
They then jumped out and attacked him with knives and a meat cleaver, near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich on May 22, 2013.
Adebolajo tried to behead the *fusilier with a knife and spouted Islamic hatred as his innocent victim lay dying in the street.

With his hands covered in blood, he told witnesses to call the police, adding: "The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.
"And this British soldier is one. It is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"Through many passages in the Koran, we must fight them as they fight us."

But after a stint at Belmarsh, Frankland and Wakefield jails, where staff moved him around to prevent him from influencing others, Adebolajo claims he "feels guilty."
A source told the Sun on Sunday that it was the first time he had ever wavered from his beliefs, making his confession "remarkable."

“He told them he acknowledged for the first time he had taken an innocent life.
“He even admitted he misinterpreted the Koran in trying to justify his horrific actions. It’s an astonishing rejection of his extremist beliefs.”
He also told prisoners he now rejects his extremist views, admitting he was "brainwashed" and the attack was "misguided."
However Adebolajo is likely to stay in high-security HMP Woodhill, outside Milton Keynes, where he is serving a life sentence.
