As the flatmate of the White Widow is hauled back to the UK, what happened to Samantha Lewthwaite after she was linked to terror attacks overseas and a network of extremists

The British terror suspect linked to the notorious 'White Widow' Samantha Lewthwaite last night arrived back in the UK after spending years locked up in a Kenyan jail. 

Jermaine Grant was deported back to Britain on Thursday accompanied by Kenyan officials and immediately arrested after touching down at Heathrow Airport. 

Grant,41,is thought to have links to feared jihardi extremist Samantha Lewthwaite, the wife of 7/7 terrorist bomber Germaine Lindsay.

The 40-year-old mother-of-four,from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire,is among the world's most wanted women and has been on the run for more than a decade.

Her nickname among intelligence agencies is the 'White Widow',and she has been linked with a string of terror atrocities in Africa that have caused the deaths of more than 400 people. 

Interpol issued a Red Notice warrant for her arrest after she was linked to the 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Kenya,which left five Britons and 66 other people dead and injured around 200 others 

In Yemen,she is understood to have recruited female suicide bombers with bribes of £3,000. She is also thought to have sent male suicide bombers as young as 15,high on heroin,to their deaths.

London University graduate Lewthwaite reportedly altered her appearance through plastic surgery and piled on weight in a bid to remain unrecognised.

She has pledged to raise all of her four children,who have three different fathers,as jihadists.  

As a teenager she was seduced by the teachings of extremist cleric Trevor Forrest,or Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal,through whom she met Lindsay,who killed himself and 26 others in 2005.
