This week's London jihadist lived a life of sex, drugs, and terror, and was not a "proper muslim," his former landlord told the U.K.'s The Sun.
"He wasn't a proper Muslim," Cassie Havard, 43, told the U.K. newspaper. "He s*****d prostitutes, smoked copious amounts of crack and stuck knives in people's faces.
"He was a madman."
Khalid Masood, 52, spent money on hookers and drugs in a vagabond life and, during one "four-day crack session" after being accused of being an "undercover cop" by a fellow druggie, attacked someone with a knife.
"[He] went absolutely wild and ran to the kitchen to grab the biggest knife he could find," Havard told The Sun. "He went back in the room and slashed the guy's face to pieces.
"It was horrific, but he always had that darker side about him."
But violence was just a part of the picture with the drugs, hookers, and radical extremism, according to the report.
"He would take anything, from coke and ecstasy to acid and crack, which he would get through like a steam train," one source told the paper. "When high his mood dominated everything in a nasty way. . . . As soon as the picture of the terrorist on a stretcher outside Parliament was published, we suspected it was him.
"It was the last act of a man who spent most of his life terrorizing others."
