A man accused of killing Fusilier Lee Rigby told police he was targeted because "he was the soldier that we spotted first", a court has heard.
In a police interview played to jurors at the Old Bailey, Michael Adebolajo said the victim was a "fair target" because people joined the army understanding their lives would be at risk.
He told officers that Fus Rigby was "like the non-Muslim version of myself" and said the alleged murder was not a "personal vendetta".
During his statement, the 28-year-old told police he felt he was "not in control of myself" when he hit the soldier with his car close to Woolwich barracks in southeast London on May 22.
He said he was "not sure how I struck the first blow" but added: "The most humane way to kill any creature is to cut the jugular."
Some of Fus Rigby's family shook their heads as the interview continued, with Adebolajo telling officers: "Why make it prolonged? He may be my enemy. But he is alive. So I struck at the neck and attempted to remove his head to be sure, you know."
The court heard how Adebolajo "did not expect to live beyond that day".
"I did not expect to be alive to go to prison, or whatever," he told police, 10 days after Fus Rigby's death.
Jurors also heard him talk about his political beliefs, describing Conservative and Labour politicians as "filthy pigs" but saying he "admired" Ukip leader Nigel Farage.
Adebolajo and his co-defendant Michael Adebowale, 22, deny murdering Fus Rigby, attempting to murder a police officer and conspiracy to murder.
The trial continues.
