LINCOLNSHIRE Police have raided a house the Lincolnshire village of Saxilby in connection with the murder of a soldier in Woolwich yesterday afternoon.
The police swooped on the house as the name of one of the suspects was revealed on internet forums and Twitter as Michael Adebolajo.
He was the alleged killer seen ranting on video shortly after the murder of the soldier.
It is understood the men, who are being treated in separate hospitals while under arrest, are most likely to be British citizens of Nigerian descent who have converted to a radical form of Islam.
However, they are not thought to have links to terror groups based in Nigeria, such as the jihadist militant organisation Boko Haram.
Police were today seen outside the detached house, where Adebolajo is listed as having lived in the past.
There was no answer at the address believed to be that of Adebolajo's father, named by neighbours as Anthony Adebolajo.
Mr Adebolajo, 56, is believed to be a trained nurse now working in a managerial capacity within the NHS.
The modern property was being monitored by two police patrol cars stationed outside and, later in the morning, plain clothes officers, thought to be from the Metropolitan Police, arrived at the modern estate and the house and driveway was sealed off with police tape. An officer at the scene described the property as a 'crime scene'.
They believed he had up to four grown up children, although few if any are thought to have stayed at the house for any period of time.
Michael Adebolajo was listed as being resident in 2004, shortly after the family moved in.
One nearby resident said: 'I know his family have ties to London, but whoever is at this house is very secretive.
'The curtains are always drawn at the front and the back, I've never seen anybody in the garden, either.'
A spokesman said: 'Lincolnshire Police can confirm that the Metropolitan Police executed a search warrant under PACE at an address in Lincolnshire.
'This is in connection with the ongoing investigation into the murder of a man in Woolwich. The Metropolitan Police are not prepared to discuss the matter further at this stage."
