British anti-terror officers yesterday
told a court how a colourful selection of sexy underwear was found at
one of the ‘White Widow’s’ Kenyan safe houses.
Giving evidence at the trial of Samantha
Lewthwaite’s accomplice, Jermaine Grant, in Mombasa, Scotland Yard
counter-terrorism detective Robert Garrick said police retrieved a
collection of pink, black and red lingerie along with the Muslim
convert’s birth certificate.
The villa, in the Nyali district of the
Indian Ocean resort, was one of five being rented by Lewthwaite, 29,
before police foiled her and Grant’s plot to blow up British tourists in
December 2011.
Both
Lewthwaite and Grant, 29, from Newham, east London, have been charged
with planning to cause the loss of lives and possessing bomb-making
chemicals.
These
include electrical switches, acetone, hydrogen peroxide and ammonium
nitrate - the same chemical used by Lewthwaite’s husband Jermaine
Lindsay when he blew up a Piccadilly Line tube in 2005, killing 26
people.
A team of anti-terror officers, who have been working with the Kenyan police, flew to Mombasa to give evidence at Grant’s trial.
Yesterday it emerged that after fleeing Britain, Lewthwaite lived in the Johannesburg under an alias and ran up huge bank debt
