It was the second time in days the monster — serving 45 years for Fusilier Lee’s murder — had been admitted to a Covid ward.

A source said: “He’s in a very bad way and fighting for every breath.

“It’s reached the stage where it’s a 24/7 battle. If he deteriorates much further, intensive care would be the next step. He’s very young to be affected so badly.”

Adebowale was receiving oxygen but was not on a ventilator.

Lee, 25, was run over by Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo, now 36, before being hacked to death outside barracks in Woolwich, South East London, in 2013.

Adebolajo got a whole life term.
