Three brave women rushed to a slain British soldier, and confronted two killers, preventing more carnage in London’s Woolwich neighborhood, reported the New York Post Wednesday.

One of three women, Loyau-Kennett, 48, was returning from a trip, and was visiting her children in London when the bus she was stopped because of the melee.

After she found out there were two men with a knife and a beheaded man on the ground, she first sat down beside the beheaded man, and allegedly prayed.

Then she walked up to the killers and kept talking until the police came.

“He had what looked like a butcher’s tools _ a little axe, to cut the bones, and two large-size knives, and I asked ‘What do you want?’" Loyau-Kennett said in an interview with The Guardian.

"I asked him why he had done what he had done," The Guardian quoted her as saying.

"He said he had killed the man because he (the victim) was a British soldier who killed Muslim women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was furious about the British Army being over there."

When the man told her he was going to kill police when they arrived, she asked him if that was reasonable.

"I asked him if he wanted to give me what he was holding in his hand, which was a knife, but I didn't want to say that," she said.

"He didn't agree and I asked him, 'Do you want to carry on?' He said, 'No, no, no.' I didn't want to upset him.”

Loyau-Kennett said she was not scared and that the armed men did not seem to be drunk or on drugs. She said she was trying to keep them occupied so they didn't get more agitated.
