CHILLING CCTV shows Streatham terrorist Sudesh Amman in his final moments before being shot dead after unleashing a bloody knife rampage.
The warped jihadi can be seen calmly walking down the High Road with a JD Sports bag covering the fake suicide vest strapped to his chest.
Amman, 20, is also wearing a hat and baggy coat in the footage as he strolls past Sunday afternoon walkers unaware of the terror about to ensue, ITV News reports.
Just moments later, the extremist began hacking at innocent bystanders with a stolen £3.99 knife – leaving two injured.
Amman was shot dead within minutes by armed cops with a third man wounded by flying glass during the gunfight.
Officers had been trailing the terrorist after he was released from prison automatically for a string of terror offences just days before the crazed knife attack.
Amman was caged for three years and four months in December 2018 after repeatedly telling his girlfriend about his hatred for “kuffars” and his wish to carry out a terror attack.
In one sickening message, he tried to encourage her to behead her own parents and revealed he wanted to “purge society” after pledging allegiance to ISIS.
In other messages, the jihadi asked if he could deliver a knife to his girlfriend’s home and said ISIS was the best thing to happen to Islam.
Alexis Boon, then head of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said at the time of his conviction that Amman had a “fierce interest in violence and martyrdom.
Questions are now mounting over why Amman had been freed from prison just days ago – despite fears he still held radical views.
FREED FROM JAIL
But a Whitehall source said Amman was released early from prison because there was nothing the authorities could do under existing laws to keep him behind bars.
The government has now been told it must get emergency legislation passed by February 27 to prevent the automatic release of any further convicted terrorists.
Boris Johnson has called for an inquiry into why Amman was released early and will announce new plans on how to deal with brainwashed jihadis.
Amman was being monitored by counter-terror cops when he strapped a fake bomb vest to his chest and randomly knifed at two people.
Just hours before, he had called his mum and told her he wanted his favourite mutton curry.
