Ingrid Loyau-Kennett (Born 1965) is a French-born British teacher who attempted to save Lee Rigby's life, after he was run down and stabbed with knives and a cleaver to death.
A cub scout leader from Cornwall at the time, she disembarked from a passing bus with the intention of rendering first aid, after she saw what she thought was a road accident. On discovering that the victim was dead she engaged one of the assailants in conversation. The man said he was responsible for killing the man on the ground – a British soldier who the attacker claimed had "killed Muslims in Iraq and in Afghanistan". She asked one of the men to hand over his weapons, but he refused.
She kept the two killers talking, and eventually, they were arrested. Michael Adebolajo was given a whole life order in prison, while Michael Adebowale was ordered to serve at least 45 years of his life sentence.
