London Bridge killer Usman Khan has been buried in Pakistan in his family’s ancestral village after objections in his local Muslim community to a burial in his home town.

The body of the 28-year-old terrorist who attacked five people, killing two, was flown out of the UK on Thursday afternoon and arrived in Pakistan on Friday morning for the burial, almost exactly a week after the atrocity.

His family who issued a statement this week “totally condemning” his actions organised the funeral in their native Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after concerns about burying him in the UK.

A cousin said his parents wanted to keep the burial "low key" and “did not want to bury him in the UK" because they were "scared".

A pre-burial ritual known as a Janaza took place in a Birmingham mosque before the body was flown to Pakistan after being released by the City of London coroner. Janaza are funeral prayers and their purpose is to ask forgiveness for the deceased.
