Thomas Mair is being jailed for life for the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox. He shot and stabbed to death the mother-of-two in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on 16 June 2016, a week before the EU referendum vote. During the course of the attack he shouted "Britain first", but the judge said the true "patriot" was Mrs Cox, not Mair. Prosecutors said Mair was motivated by hate and his crimes were "nothing less than acts of terrorism". Mohamed Mulla is the Chair of the Indian Muslim Welfare society, and gives his reaction to the verdict in the following interview with Âé¶¹Éç presenter Ambreen Pervaiz
