POLICE have searched the Trelech home of the mother of the man responsible for Wednesday’s Westminster terror attack, it emerged today.

Specialised police officers yesterday visited the house where Khalid Masood’s mother lives - around six miles south of Newcastle Emlyn - along with properties in Birmingham and London.

Four people were killed and dozens were hurt after Masood drove a car on to a pavement and stabbed a policeman before he was shot dead by police.

Police said nobody living at the house was a suspect.

A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said: "The Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit, supported by officers of Dyfed-Powys Police, have today provided assistance to The Metropolitan Police, following yesterday’s incident in London.

"In doing this, they have conducted a search of one property in Carmarthenshire - this search has concluded.

"The occupants are receiving appropriate support. They are not suspects and have not been arrested."

The force added there was no threat to the area.
