An alleged terrorist has denied murdering Southend West MP Sir David Amess.
Ali Harbi Ali, 25, has also pleaded not guilty to preparing acts of terrorism.
He appeared at the Old Bailey this lunchtime where he entered his pleas.
Sir David died from stab wounds following an alleged incident during a constituency surgery held at the Belfairs Methodist Church back on October 15.
Ali is alleged to have stabbed the MP multiple times after traveling to the church from his home in Kentish Town, north London.
Before the killing, Ali allegedly engaged in reconnaissance of locations of targets to attack, including addresses associated with MPs and the Houses of Parliament.
He also made an internet search relating to targets, it is claimed.
