Hmm, known to the government 'Prevent scheme' yet not known to security services.
Apparently is the son of a Somali civil servant.
Who is Ali Harbi Ali
The 25-year-old is a British citizen, with his family coming to the UK from Somali in the 1990s - where his dad is reportedly a senior civil to the government in the African nation.
It is not thought to have been known to security services in the past, although the investigation is ongoing and new details could emerge.
However, the man is understood to have been referred to the Government's anti-terror Prevent programme, where members of the public are asked to spot early signs of radicalisation.
The Sun exclusively revealed that police had discovered Islamist material on his phone following the fatal stabbing.
Meanwhile, Ali Harbi Ali is believed to have travelled 50 miles by train to commit the murder - and admitted to killing Sir David.
Cops are also investigating any possible connection with Islamic terror groups, with The Times reporting he may have been inspired by jihadist group al-Shabaab - an offshoot of al-Qaeda.
