Darren Osborne was charged with terrorism-related murder and attempted murder after he was arrested in the early hours of Monday for driving a van into pedestrians near Finsbury Park mosque, resulting in the death of one man.
At least 11 people were injured in the incident.

Two other injured victims were treated at the scene and nine were taken to hospital.
Osborne wasdetained by members of public outside the mosque and then taken to hospital and later arrestedon suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder.
The imam of Muslim Welfare House had come to the rescue of Osborne as he was detained, preventing people from beating him up.
According to witnesses,Osborneshouted, "I want to kill all Muslims" as he drove into a crowd largely made up of worshippersout for Ramazan prayers.
In a statement, his family said: "We are massively shocked. It's unbelievable. It still hasn't really sunk in. We are devastated for the families. Our hearts go out to the people who have been injured.
