A convicted killer who helped subdue a terrorist who stabbed two people to death during a terrifying rampage has been awarded The Queen’s Gallantry Medal. John Crilly is one of four men to be handed the prestigious award for their bravery in helping to stop London Bridge terrorist Usman Khan.
Inside Fishmongers' Hall, Crilly threw a lectern at Khan, then hit him with a chair. He pursued Khan and sprayed a fire extinguisher to force him out of the building and onto London Bridge. He then also used the fire extinguisher to disarm him of the knives.Khan was shot dead by police shortly after. Steven Gallant, Darryn Frost and Lukasz Koczocik, who also put themselves in harm's way to stop Khan, were also recipients of the medal.
Flynn punched Augustine Maduemezia, 71, who died after he suffered severe head and facial injuries. The pair ransacked his flat and stole a mobile phone and blender. He was originally sentenced to 20 years but after appearing in court again he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was re-sentenced to 18 years, and was released in 2018. After the awards were announced, Oliver Dowden MP, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said: "We all hope we’d react with courage in the face of danger.
