“Your mindset became one of malevolent hatred,” the judge told the prisoner in the dock at Woolwich Crown Court. A jury convicted Osborne, of Cardiff, Wales, of murder and attempted murder Thursday for the attack in London’s Finsbury Park neighbourhood. A 51-year-old man, Makram Ali, was killed and 12 people were injured when Osborne drove a rented van into people leaving evening prayers during Ramadan. Osborne began searching racist and anti-Muslim material, and a few weeks later, on June 19, he carried out his attack. In her sentencing remarks, the judge praised Mohammed Mahmoud, imam of the local mosque, for intervening to stop them from hurting him.
