Adebowale will appear in court on Thursday.
He was one of two people
-- along with a 28-year-old man whom family, friends and acquaintances
have identified as Michael Adebolajo -- arrested after being wounded in a
confrontation with police after the May 22 attack. Adebolajo has not
been formally charged.
Adebowale was discharged
from a hospital Tuesday and is now in custody at a police station,
police said, while the 28-year-old remains hospitalized under guard.
Adebowale also is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.
The killing of Rigby, who
had served as an infantryman in Afghanistan and Cyprus, in the
southeast London district of Woolwich shocked people across the United
Kingdom.
In all, 10 people have
been arrested in connection with the killing. Two were released without
charges, while six others have been freed on bail -- the most recent a
50-year-old man arrested Monday night on suspicion of conspiracy to
murder.
Rigby's fiancee, Aimee
West, told Britain's Press Association on Wednesday night that she's
"extremely proud" of him and "devastated" by his death. Her comments
came in a statement to the news service issued through the Metropolitan
Police; while police didn't relay that statement to CNN, they did
confirm that they'd passed on West's remarks to the Press Association.
"I am moved by all the
flowers and tributes, and that he has been remembered by the nation as
the great man she was," West said of her "loving fiancee."
