Coroner praises pursuers’ bravery after inquest hears Usman Khan threatened to set off suicide vest
The convicted terrorist Usman Khan threatened to set off a suicide vest as a bystander confronted him with a narwhal tusk at London’s Fishmongers’ Hall, an inquest has heard.
Darryn Frost, a civil servant, poked the tusk into Khan’s stomach after he had stabbed Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, at a prisoner rehabilitation event in the hall on 29 November 2019.
