THE ringleader of the London Bridge terror attack is thought to have thrown a “send-off” barbecue for his neighbours a week before carrying out the bloody rampage that claimed seven lives and left 48 injured.

Ramou Grant, who was invited to the party in Barking, told Good Morning Britain: “Last week he called for a barbecue and invited all of us. [I’ve been] thinking, ‘was this a send-off?’”…

Sharmine Thomas, 50, added: “He used to help me with my shopping. He was a lovely guy.”
