Khalid Masood London terrorist – Birmingham resident Adrian Elms who attacked Westminster | Daily Star FACE OF TERROR: Khalid Masood mowed down dozens of people on Westminster Bridge

The 52-year-old terrorist from Birmingham, was born Adrian Russell Ajao and grew up in Rye, East Sussex, before descending into a life of crime.

Also going by the name Adrian Elms, his first criminal conviction came when he was just 19 in 1983 for criminal damage.

Masood was later charged with GBH, wounding with intent and possessing an offensive weapon.

He was reportedly convicted of possession of a knife in 2003 over the stabbing of a 22-year-old man in the face while in Eastbourne. 

After going to prison he is believed to have become a radical and changed his name.

He became an English teacher after his release, had three children and became a bodybuilder.

Prime Minster Theresa May confirmed that Masood had been investigated by Mi5 over "violent extremism".

A photograph revealed today shows Masood as a youngster at a school in Tunbridge Wells shows him smiling next to footie-mad friends. CHILLING: Khalid Masood — born Adrian Ajao — smiles next to friends at school 

His mum, 69-year-old Janet Ajao, runs a business selling hand-made cushions and bags from her farmhouse in a remote Welsh village.

She reportedly has the "good life" dream living in a farmhouse cottage, listening to classical music, keeping chickens and spending her time on handycrafts.

Police have been stationed outside her home while investigations are ongoing.

Masood had most recently been living Winson Green, Birmingham, and neighbours confirmed his identity.

One said: “When I saw the picture of him (on the stretcher) I said that was him and so did my husband. HOME: Khalid Masood's mum's home An armed police office stands guard in Whitehall

“He had been living there with his partner and child until a few months ago.”

Another said: “I’ve seen the picture today for the first time and that is 100% him.

“They were not particularly talkative people, but they did seem to be fairly normal.’’

Other neighbours described him as a "quiet" – but ISIS claimed he was a "soldier" of Islamic State.

Moments before he launched his deadly attack Masood was on Whatsapp sending messages.
