(BBC) The families of three men murdered in a Reading park have said they cautiously welcome changes to anti-terror measures outlined by the government.
Gary Furlong’s son James, Joe Ritchie-Bennett and David Wails were stabbed to death by Khairi Saadallah in Forbury Gardens on 20 June 2020.
Last month, Mr Furlong said he was frustrated with the speed of outlined changes to the Prevent scheme, which failed to intervene in the life of the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana.
Home secretary Yvette Cooper has since met Mr Furlong and Mr Ritchie-Bennett’s families and written to the three families, acknowledging that Prevent was “not working as it should” in 2020.
