July 7 bombings: Samantha Lewthwaite’s husband Jermaine Lindsay ‘an outsider’

His stepfather was said to be “harsh” to Lindsay and the relationship
with his mother broke up when Lindsay was five.

After converting to Islam, Lindsay took the name “Jamal” and started
wearing the traditional white thobe. But at school he started to mix with
troublemakers and was disciplined for handing out leaflets supporting
al-Qa’eda.

At Islamic groups around Huddersfield and Dewsbury, he was admired for his
maturity and for the speed with which he achieved fluency in Arabic.

A crisis came in his life when his mother moved to America leaving Lindsay,
aged 17, to manage alone in the family home.

He met his wife, Samantha Lewthwaite, a white convert to Islam, over the
Internet in October 2002. He probably met Sidique Khan at prayer circles and
they became close friends during 2004.

She and Lindsay, who changed his name to Abdullah Shaheed Jamal when he
converted to muslim when he was 14, had two children together.

He later married his wife, a white convert to Islam, when, she said, he had
been a “peaceful man who loved people”

But around the same time there was said to be a “marked change” in his
character and he spent the last 10 days of Ramadan fasting and praying at
Regents Park Mosque in London and the Leeds Grand Mosque.

After that his behaviour is said to have become “increasingly erratic.”

The inquest into the attacks heard last year that the married July 7 bomber
tried
to take a teenage girl to a London hotel the day before the attacks to
get some “bad boy room service”.

Nicki Blackmore, who was days away from her 18th birthday at the time, said in
a police statement that she had met Lindsay, just over two weeks before he
killed 26 people at King’s Cross in 2005.

He was already married to Ms Lewthwaite, then 21, who was pregnant with their
second child.

Miss Blackmore told police they met at a boxing club in Aylesbury, Bucks. He
introduced himself as “Tyrone”and later took her for a walk around
a lake.
