Amess was attacked while attending his his constituency surgery at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
The pro-Brexit, anti-abortion MP was stabbed “more than a dozen times” by the attacker and subsequently died on the scene while paramedics tried to treat his wounds. According to the Independent, “The murder is being treated at this point as a probable Islamist terror attack.” SummitNews
Four women and one man were left dead after the attack, while an off-duty police officer and another person were wounded.
According to police chief Ole Bredrup Saeverud, the 37-year-old culprit had converted to Islam and “There were concerns over radicalisation.”
Reuters reported the story with the headline “Danish man suspected of killing five in bow-and-arrow attack in Norway.” It’s unlikely that the terrorist’s Danish nationality motivated his
rampage, his conversion to Islam however is likely to have played a
role." SummitNews
