You can't have a back door to 'end to end encryption' if that were at all possible we wouldn't be able to do internet banking or have any real cyber security.

They don't know... they can't know if this terrorist sent a Whatsapp message. Rudd either thinks we are stupid or she's been watching too many episodes of 'Twenty Four'.

If they have his phone which is highly likely, why wouldn't they know he sent a message on Whatsapp

Because looking at the phone itself wouldn't tell you. You would have to unlock access to his whatsapp. They will be able to see he has whatsapp and his phone history will show if he accessed whatsapp but his phone history won't show what he did.
