(ITV) The mother of a Manchester Arena bombing victim has told the prime minister that an attack on a Moscow concert venue shows why a new law enhancing security in public places in the UK must be introduced without delay.
Figen Murray’s son Martyn Hett was among those killed when a suicide bomber attacked the arena in Manchester in 2017. She has written to Rishi Sunak asking him to honour a previous promise on a protect duty — known as Martyn’s Law — “as quickly as possible.”
More than 130 people were killed when gunmen stormed the Crocus City Hall on the outskirts of Moscow on Friday. Ms Murray says it shows why the law “needs to happen urgently to prevent this sort of attack.”
