During the trial, shopper Leanne Jones said she heard the words "white power" and said Davies was acting "like a lunatic" as he hacked Dr Bhambra with the machete.
Another witness heard Davies say: "Come here, this is for Lee Rigby".

He also said he was "absolutely fascinated" with Islamic State and described the British man known as Jihadi John as his inspiration.
Gareth Preston, senior prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Wales, described Davies as a "dangerous young man whose distorted and racist views led him to commit a terrifying act of violence".
He added: "Such was the level of violence involved that, were it not for the extremely courageous actions of ex-serviceman Peter Fuller, this offence could have become an act of murder."
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were jailed for life in February 2014 for hacking Fusilier Rigby to death.

Hello there, We’re back earlier than expected, with some unfortunate news that we feel we need share with you.
On the weekend, there was a serious medical emergency with one of our team’s close family members.
The situation is severe enough that they won’t be able to complete their work in time for Need to Know’s alpha release.
As a result, we most likely cannot make the September 26th release date without severely compromising the alpha’s quality and the mental health of one of our team.
Their work is almost finished, but given the gravity of the situation, they will need a little extra time to complete it.
Our thoughts are with them and their family at this tough time.
This news will no doubt come as a great disappointment to many of you, and no one more than ourselves.
We’ve pushed ourselves hard to get the alpha ready in time, and development was on schedule before this emergency struck.
Delaying this release again is the absolute last thing we want to do.
However, a short interruption is probably unavoidable, and we felt you needed to know as soon as possible.
As the pending assets can be dropped right into the game, the wait won’t be longer than a week or two.
The other parts of development will continue at full speed, and the additional time may give us the opportunity to add an extra feature to the alpha that we thought we wouldn’t have time to include.
It’s only fair that you get more to play, given your incredible patience and support.
When we’ve solidified a new date, we’ll post it on social media a couple of days in advance.
Our next Kickstarter update will announce the release of the alpha, and you’ll be able to download it right away.
We can’t tell you how dispiriting this delay is for us all, but at the same time we also want to express how grateful we are for your excitement and encouragement over the last few months.
When hit by setbacks like this, your support makes it that much easier to remain focused and motivated.
Until next time, Tristram and Quincy [P.S.
A reminder for backers at Clearance Level 8 and higher: The backer survey will still close on the 30th of September, so make sure you have your responses in soon!
Please let us know if you have any questions or issues with it.]

This is the full 4-1-13 episode of the Labor Express Radio program.
In Pilsen, a working class, Mexican immigrant on Chicago’s Southside, Metro Bank has been foreclosing on several apartment buildings and has been attempting to evict the building’s tenants.
But little did Metro Bank know that at least two of their tenants were seasoned activists and members of the IWW (The Industrial Workers of the World).
And like good Wobblies, these tenants didn’t simple mourn the banks attempts to evict them - they organized!
They communicated with friends and neighbors at several buildings in the community that were taken over by Metro Bank and are fighting back.
On Friday about two dozen tenants and their supporters held a rally outside Metro Bank in east Pilsen.
We will hear what they had to say on today’s program.
And we have a very special in studio guest this morning.
Oscar Chacon- Executive Director of the National Alliance of Latin American & Caribbean Communities (NALACC), is here to talk about developments in the debates over immigration reform in the U.S. and about an exciting event being held next Saturday here in Chicago called Latino Nation.

A four-year old Texas boy found wandering across the border in Mexico this winter finally returned to the United States.
Authorities believe his mother traveled from El Paso to Juarez to purposely abandon the child.
Over the weekend, the El Paso Police Department announced that the youngster found in the Mexican state of Chihuahua returned to the United States on Friday night.
The four-year-old remained in the custody of social services in Juarez for more than four months.
The police department tweeted they placed the little boy into the care of Child Protective Services (CPS).
Since then, though, it appears authorities reunited the child with his father in El Paso.
CAP – 4 year old boy found in Juarez was returned to the United States & CPS Friday evening.
dp — EL PASO POLICE DEPT (@EPPOLICE) July 1, 2017 Breitbart Texas reported that Mexican police found the boy wandering alone on the streets of Juarez on February 22.
They suspected the child, purportedly named “Luis,” was American because of his command of the English language.
Months later the El Paso Police Department identified the four-year-old as a U.S. citizen.
In fact, detectives in the south Texas border city only first learned about the boy in late May when an El Paso police supervisor in the Crimes Against Persons unit attended an Amber Alert seminar in Mexico City and heard about the child’s situation.
Subsequently, on June 3, El Paso police issued a media alert about the unidentified boy.
His mother, Ruby Esmeralda Gonzalez, 25 viewed photographs of her son on El Paso TV news broadcasts and then contacted police to report her child as a kidnapping victim.
An ensuing police investigation revealed Gonzalez crossed over the U.S.-Mexico border and into the city of Juarez on February 22 where, allegedly, she left her child in a dilapidated and deserted building.
Gonzalez then returned to El Paso on the same day.
According to KVIA, a Juarez cab driver actually found the boy who was alone, scared, and hungry.
The cabbie contacted local police who then took the child into custody.
When investigators examined “Luis,” they noticed bruises on his head, legs, and buttocks.
Current El Paso jail records show that police arrested Gonzales on June 5 on one count of child abandonment with imminent danger and booked her into the El Paso County Detention Facility on a $10,000 bond.
On June 13, law enforcement officials charged her with filing a false report to a peace officer, federal special investigator, or law enforcement employee.
This carries a $10,000 bond.
On top of that, they charged Gonzalez with injury to a child with the intent of bodily injury which has a $25,000 bond.
She remains incarcerated in the county jail.
Reportedly, before releasing “Luis,” Chihuahua police said the unidentified adult male had to take a DNA test in Juarez to prove he was the biological father.
Investigators with the Mexican Attorney General’s office, officials from the United States Consulate in Juarez, and CPS authorities worked to bring the boy to home to his father, according to local Juarez newspaper El Diario de Juarez.

Police across Kansas feel they are targets of “built-in” bias and say they are wrongly accused of racial profiling.
Those sentiments underlie findings of a new study by a Wichita State University professor for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Specifically, 39 of 61 officers interviewed for the research said they had been accused of racial profiling at least once during a traffic stop.
Yet none said they were the subject of a formal complaint following the traffic stop.
One Hispanic officer “said he has been accused of racial profiling at least fifty times,” says a 59-page analysis compiled by Michael Birzer, a professor of criminal justice and director of WSU’s School of Community Affairs.
The officers were from 15 agencies, including the Wichita Police Department.
Sign Up and Save Get six months of free digital access to The Wichita Eagle Last year, Birzer completed a study for the city of Wichita finding that Wichita police ticketed black motorists at disproportionately higher rates than white motorists.
While African-Americans made up only 11 percent of the city’s population, they accounted for 22 percent of the people given traffic citations from November 2012 through April 2013.
That report said the results don’t prove that racial profiling exists because a number of factors may influence who gets ticketed by police.
For example, if police are deployed more heavily in minority neighborhoods, it might explain why more minorities are being stopped.
It can “present the perception of racial profiling even though it may not be occurring,” the report said.
The latest Birzer study, commissioned by the state, was designed to get officers’ perspectives.
Birzer interviewed or spoke with the officers multiple times and met with them in focus groups.
Besides the Wichita department, the officers were from the Andover, Arkansas City, Derby, Dodge City, Eastborough, Kansas City, Lenexa, Newton, Pittsburg, Topeka and Wichita State University police departments and the Reno, Shawnee and Sumner County sheriff’s departments.
Many of the interviews were taking place as the tense situation in Ferguson, Mo., where a black teen was fatally shot by a white officer, was unfolding, Birzer said.
“We have an opportunity to look at both sides of this issue,” Birzer said.
One sound approach to police-community relations, he said, seems to be “good, old-fashioned interaction, communication, just the little things that don’t cost a lot of money.” “If every officer treated their beat like Andy Taylor” – the sheriff in the small town of Mayberry on “The Andy Griffith Show” on TV in the 1960s – “that can go a long, long ways,” Birzer said.
On being accused The officers said that when they were accused of stopping motorists because of their race, usually it was an African-American accusing them.
Asked how they responded to the accusation, officers said they tried to explain the specific reason – speeding or a defective brake light – but they thought motorists accepted the explanation only part of the time.
One white officer told a black driver that he couldn’t see his race until he walked up to his car.
One officer shared this: “Some officers don’t care and won’t take a few extra minutes to explain to the citizen why they are being stopped and that’s a problem.” The officers, two-thirds of whom are white, are not identified by name or agency.
