(BBC) Efforts to deport a Libyan refugee were dropped shortly before he murdered three men in a terrorist attack in a park, a coroner has heard.
Khairi Saadallah’s deportation was initially stalled because he faced charges, including eating a police station mattress, the hearing was told.
The process was then dropped because of the war in Libya, the court heard.
In June 2020, Saadallah stabbed James Furlong, Joe Ritchie-Bennett and David Wails in Forbury Gardens, Reading.
He was handed a whole-life sentence at the Old Bailey in 2021 after pleading guilty to three murders and three attempted murders.
