A terrorist told a mentor he had mended his ways, days before carrying out a knife attack which ended in police shooting him dead, an inquest heard.
Sudesh Amman claimed he "now realised" that those who committed terrorist acts were "pushing people away" from Islam.
Three days later, on 2 February 2020, the 20-year-old was killed by police after he launched a knife attack in Streatham, south London.
Amman injured a man and woman in the attack on Streatham High Road.
Two mentors described being "shocked" and "gobsmacked" by his actions.
The inquest was previously told there had been concerns about his release from HMP Belmarsh on 23 January 2020, part-way through his 40-month sentence for preparing and engaging in acts of terrorism.
