The man who drove a van into a crowd outside two London mosques last year has been sentenced to 43 years in prison.

Darren Osborne, 48, killed one man and injured nine others after he swerved into worshippers at Finsbury Park, north London, at 12.16 a.m. last June.

Osborne was said to have shouted "I want to kill all Muslims" shortly after the attack.

He was found guilty of murder and attempted murder on Thursday, and sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on Friday afternoon.

The prosecuting lawyer at his trial said Osborne had been "brainwashed" into Islamophobia after watching a BBC drama about an underage sex grooming gang run by Muslim men in Rochdale, Manchester.

During his trial, Osborne also claimed that he wanted to kill Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn at a pro-Palestinian march in London.

The London Metropolitan Police on Thursday released a 15-second clip of the scene as Osborne drove into a crowd of people in Muslim dress that night.

The force also released a series of CCTV stills that showed how he planned the attack in Wales before driving to London to carry out the deadly act.
