LONDON
The man carried out the attack on the U.K. parliament was originally named Adrian Russell Ajao, police said Friday.
The attacker had originally been identified as Khalid Masood, 52, and police said he had used a number of aliases during his life.
In a statement given outside London’s main police headquarters, Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Rowley, said a fourth victim -- Leslie Rhodes, 75 -- had died of his injuries overnight.
Police Constable Keith Palmer; teacher Aysha Frade, who had a Turkish Cypriot father; and U.S. tourist Kurt W. Cochran were also killed in Wednesday’s attack. Masood was shot dead by police after stabbing Palmer just inside the grounds of parliament.
Rowley said at least 50 people were injured. Two were still in a critical condition and one was being treated for life-threatening injuries.
Two further “significant arrests” were made overnight in England’s West Midlands and the northwest, Rowley added. Nine people remained in police custody and one woman had been released on bail.
Searches at 17 addresses had yielded 2,700 items including “massive of amounts of computer data”.
During the attack, Masood drove a rental car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing the vehicle outside parliament and getting out to launch a knife attack.
