Reading attack inquest: Deaths were “probably avoidable”

An inquest has concluded that the deaths of three friends who were stabbed in Reading four years ago were "probably avoidable".
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The judge coroner said the failings of multiple agencies contributed to the killings by Khairi Saadallah - a Libyan refugee released from prison 15 days earlier who should have been treated as extremist and "very dangerous".
The parents of one of the victims told Channel 4 News they hope today's findings will prevent other families going through the same needless heartbreak.

    @@user-sd3ik9rt6d YOU are the one who appears to be out of touch with reality. He is serving a WHOLE LIFE SENTENCE in Belmarsh. In 2021, at expense to us, he was assisted by thieving lawyers and applied for leave to appeal the sentence. Leave was refused. He has many years to come in his cell chanting about 72 virgins. If you are suggesting that his carcase, once he has died many years from now, should be exported, I agree. Let us try somewhere over the Red Sea from 30,000 feet.

    He wasn't deported after his previous prison term, ending in 2020 or other convictions. I would think his welfare, empathy for his background were priotized?.. '1. In 2011, as a teenager in Libya, the Defendant was trained to fight and fought (for a period of at least 8 months) as a member of the extremist Islamic militia Ansar al Sharia (which is now proscribed in this country) - doing so both during the uprising against the Gaddafi regime and after the fall of that regime. 2. When, in the autumn of 2012, the Defendant applied for asylum in this country, he lied about his role in Ansar al-Sharia, and as to the circumstances in which he came to part from them. 3. The Defendant held extremist Islamic views whilst in Ansar al-Sharia, and continued to do so, albeit with lapses (for example in relation to drink and drugs) up to and including the events on 20 June 2020 - as illustrated by his retention of militaristic images relating to his time in Ansar al-Sharia... 4. After his release from a prison sentence on 5 June 2020, the Defendant began to plan his attack and, by 15 June 2020, had identified Forbury Gardens as a potential venue for it. On 17 June 2020, he reconnoitred Forbury Gardens and confirmed it as the venue. ..13. At the Police station he admitted, on a number of occasions, that what he had done was Jihad (in the sense used by extremists) and that as a result he was going to paradise. ..In considering this issue I have applied the Guideline in relation to sentencing offenders with mental disorders. Having considered the evidence, including the evidence of the various psychiatrists who examined the Defendant on 21, 23 and 25 June 2020 and the compelling reasoning in the statements of the Prosecution psychiatrist Dr Blackwood, I am sure that the Defendant was not suffering from a mental disorder or mental disability which lowered his degree of culpability for any of the offences. Rather, although there are indicators that he had a conduct disorder in childhood, and meets the diagnostic criteria for an anti-social personality disorder and for moderately severe substance misuse disorder, it is clear that the Defendant did not, and does not, have any major mental illness. Indeed, as Dr Blackwood has rightly observed, to the extent that aspects of the Defendant’s behaviour on 18 or 19 June 2020 caused concern to others they were the product of drug consumption, had resolved by the evening of the 19th and played no part in the events of the 20th. Instead, the offences were carried out in a pre-meditated, planned and carefully executed manner, and the Defendant knew the nature and quality of his acts and that what he was doing was wrong. Equally, whilst the offences were shaped by features of the Defendant’s personality disorder, there was no substantial impairment of his ability to understand the nature of his conduct, to form a rational judgment or to exercise self-control. ..The seriousness of the murders is, however, aggravated by the fact that the Defendant has 6 previous convictions for some 16 offences - including 2 for racially or religiously aggravated harassment, 8 for offences of violence, and 2 for the possession of a knife or bladed article.

    Reform are right wing, which means cuts to services. Cuts to services are why he was able to kill. Right wing want cheap foreigners here and the right wing want services underfunded, to help the rich get richer while working people suffer. Tories let in 475,000 immigrants last year. The highest number ever. This is after Brexit. Why do the Tories let in so many cheap workers? To cut wages, so the rich get richer while working people suffer. 15 years of Tory right wing, and do you feel better, do the people you know have more money or less? Are your bills much higher? Where is your bill money going to? Rich lazy shareholders who take percentages from working people. That's where your bill money goes to. Enough is enough.
