The alleged knifeman shot dead by police is a Sudanese national called Badradeen who warned the night before the carnage that he was going to launch an attack. Another friend Siraj told Mail Online that he had a conversation with Badradeen the night before the bloodbath at the Park Inn hotel in Glasgow city centre. Siraj, 22, an asylum seeker from Yeman told Mail Online:' He told me that he was fed up. The knife man was shot dead by police, and six people including the police officer David Whyte remain in hospital. I did not know Badradeen well but we became friends in recent weeks because we are both from Sudan.'
