One of the suspects in last week's slaying of a British soldier was discharged from a hospital Tuesday and is now in custody at a police station in south London, Metropolitan Police said, according to CNN. 

The suspect, whom a family friend identified as Michael Adebowale, will be questioned by officers from Scotland Yard's counterterrorism command, police said. He also has been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer, police said but provided no details.

Adebowale, 22, was one of two men wounded by police at the scene of the grisly attack in the southeast London district of Woolwich. The killing of Lee Rigby, who had served as an infantryman in Afghanistan and Cyprus, shocked people across the United Kingdom.

In all, 10 people have been arrested in connection with the killing. Two were released without charges, while six others have been freed on bail -- the most recent a 50-year-old man arrested Monday night on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

The second wounded suspect, identified by friends, acquaintances and British news outlets as Michael Adebolajo, was still hospitalized under police guard Tuesday.
