(Sky News) A police officer who paid a “welfare visit” to a violent offender the day before he launched a terrorist attack has described how he was unaware the man had a knife for the attack in his flat.
Khairi Saadallah was acting “shiftily” and positioned himself between the officers and a Morrisons supermarket bag containing the knife, the inquest into the deaths was told.
His brother had dialled 999 saying Saadallah had told him he wanted to “go to heaven” and was going to “blow himself up” but the information was not passed to the officers.
Saadallah, 25, stabbed to death three men who were meeting in Forbury Gardens, Reading, 15 days after his release from prison on licence.
