Liverpool taxi explosion: Couple who sheltered terror suspect speak out

The couple who sheltered the suspected Liverpool taxi bomber for eight months have spoken of their shock over his actions.

Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, was killed after a homemade device exploded inside the cab he rode to Liverpool Women's Hospital on Remembrance Sunday.

"He lived here for eight months and we were living cheek by jowl. He was - I thought at that time - very genuine," Malcolm Hitchcott told ITV News.

"One thing I suppose we can be thankful for is that he didn't kill anyone else. But it's sad," Elizabeth Hitchcott added.
