The Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi received a Muslim burial, despite claims he was a Christian convert.

Ezedi was granted asylum by a judge who accepted he had converted to Christianity, despite concerns that he was a liar.

Home Office sources warned that the reputation of Christian churches could be damaged if they are viewed as undermining the integrity of the asylum system.

Ezedi’s funeral took place at a mosque in west London earlier this month and he was given a Muslim burial at a cemetery in east London, with the request for the Islamic ceremony believed to have come from friends and family.

His body was pulled from the River Thames last month following a major manhunt launched after he was suspected of dousing his ex-girlfriend with alkali when he pounced on her and her children, aged eight and three, in Clapham, south London, in January.
