(BBC) The families of three men murdered by a man after multiple failures by state agencies fear lessons have not been learned after the killings in Southport and are demanding more government action.
James Furlong, David Wails and Joe Ritchie-Bennett were attacked by Khairi Saadallah in Forbury Gardens, Reading, in June 2020.
Saadallah and Southport killer Axel Rudakubana, who was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years for the murder of three girls on Thursday, had both been referred to the government’s anti-extremism Prevent programme.
A government spokesperson said it is keeping “systems under constant review.”
Saadallah was given a whole-life term in 2021 after admitting murder and the attempted murder of three other men.
