Three more men were arrested Saturday in the investigation into the killing of a British soldier in London, police said.
Lee Rigby, 25, known as “Riggers” to his friends, was walking near an army barracks in Woolwich, South London, when he was killed on Wednesday. Eyewitnesses said two attackers were later shot by officers. Those two men were taken to a hospital where they were later arrested.
The three men arrested Saturday are in custody on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, police said.
Two men, aged 24 and 28 were arrested at a residential address in southeast London, the police statement read. A 21-year-old man was arrested in the street.

A 29-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on Thursday has been released on bail to return pending further inquiries, police said.
Rigby was killed by knife-wielding assailants. A bloodstained suspect at the scene holding a meat cleaver was captured on video telling passers-by: "We swear by the almighty Allah."
Police are also executing search warrants at four residential addresses in southeast London, the statement released Saturday read.
