(Sky News) Intelligence warned the Fishmongers’ Hall killer might launch an attack on his release from prison — but it was not shared with his probation officer, an inquest has heard.
Usman Khan was handed an indeterminate sentence in 2012 for plotting a terror training camp in Pakistan, although the sentence was varied to eight years in custody on appeal, and meant he no longer needed the approval of the Parole Board to be released.
Eleven months after he left prison, Khan killed Cambridge University graduates Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, at a prisoner education event he had been invited to at Fishmongers’ Hall in London in November 2019.
Wearing a fake suicide vest, Khan was shot dead by armed police on London Bridge, 13 minutes after the attack began.
