Rachid Elkhdar, yet managed to stay in Britain despite being arrested in Scotland attempting to travel to Northern Ireland by ferry on a fake passport.

Months after meeting Ms O'Leary in 2. Dublin and married at a register office in the Irish capital.

Friends said Ms O'Leary, 3. They split up around nine months ago after they moved to her native east London and she refused to convert to Islam and would not let him impose his faith on their toddler daughter Amina.  Shortly after their wedding in Dublin, Rachid is said to have returned to Morocco while his 3. London She visited him in north Africa and said on Facebook that Casablanca was one of her favourite place - but it appears he hid his true violent and controlling nature until he had secure the right to live in the UK through her. Despite living apart the Irish authorities insisted their marriage was a genuine one and not to 'secure residency in this jurisdiction', a source told The Times.

But an inquiry has now been launched to establish if Redouane duped his wife and wed her for immigration reasons. Supportive: The terrorist's now estranged wife sought help online to get her husband a visa and confirmed they would marry in Ireland despite her living in the UKRedouane lived in Rathmines, an upmarket area of Dublin, before he moved to Britain with his wife around nine months ago. Dublin security sources fear foreign- born jihadis are targeting young women to marry in the Republic because once they have settled there they can travel freely to the UK.  Dozens of 'sleeper' jihadis may already be in Ireland after marrying. And 5. 0 more are on the radar of police. Ireland was 'backdoor' to Britain for Moroccan London Bridge terrorist. In 2. 01. 1 Ireland adopted an EU directive that allows citizens from outside the EU to travel freely between Britain and Ireland if they marry an EU citizen. A common travel area exists between Ireland and the UK meaning that there are no passport checks. There are growing concerns that the rule is allowing terrorists into Britain via Ireland. A security source told the Irish Mirror: 'Their main aim is to get a GNIB or FAM (EU identity card). Once they have that they can move freely to the UK.'They often have an address in Ireland which they do not use but it takes the suspicion off them when they are living in Britain as Ireland is official their country of residence.'They are calling them 'backdoor terrorists' or sleepers and that's a fair description'. In 2. Irish visa through his marriage to an EU citizen and a year later, he was granted an EU card, allowing him to live in the UK – and commit mass murder. Charisse O'Leary fell pregnant as soon as they moved to the Irish capital together in 2.

Mail. Online can reveal. Ms O'Leary's ex- partner of nine years Phillip Nowles, 4. Redouane began a relationship with his future wife while they were still together in 2. The Times. Within a few months they had split and she became engaged to him but chose to marry in Ireland. He said she was an 'outgoing girl, a great conversationalist who liked to have a drink' but it was only after she married the jihadi that he tried to make her convert to Islam and 'control' her. He told The Times: 'She met him while we were together, I could see she had changed. She was unhappy with me in that last year.'They broke up this year, she was fed up with his controlling behaviour he wanted their girl to become like him. To dress in Muslim clothes and believe in his ways'.

Ms O'Leary was arrested in the aftermath of the attack but has been released without charge and had 'no idea' about his plans, friends say. She is in a safe house with her daughter Amina, one. Friends said Ms O'Leary 'hated' her husband whom she accused of beating and bullying her during their turbulent months together as he tried and failed to impose hardline Islam on her and their daughter. A friend of the killer's estranged wife told The Sun Charisse had said: 'He was always really selfish and I gave up so much for him. I was never going to convert and become a Muslim. There's no way I was going to do that.'I just didn't agree with what he wanted. He didn't want Amina to eat pork or go to dance classes and I wasn't having that.'He didn't want her watching things on TV either in case it made her 'gay'.' In recent social media posts, Ms O'Leary had complained that Redouane had not been visiting their daughter enough.

Friends confirmed that Rachid and Charisse previously lived in Dagenham, east London before splitting up when Rachid became a 'bit weird' after they arrived in the UK. One former colleague at an Essex care home said: 'There's no way she'd have been involved [in terror]. She hated him in the end.'He was a horrible person.

She didn't say what happened but it seemed to me like it was domestic violence.'The carer added: 'She smokes, she drinks. She wouldn't have converted to Islam.

She dressed normally, in Western clothes.' Friends said she travelled to Ireland around three years ago after he moved to the Rathmines area in the south of the city when his visa ran out. They said Redouane tried to convert her to Islam but she refused and they had a 'volatile' relationship. He returned to Britain about nine months ago.
