(BBC) The father of a man murdered in a Reading park said relatives of victims have had to “drag” governments to make meaningful changes.
Gary Furlong’s son James, David Wails and Joe Ritchie-Bennett were stabbed to death by Khairi Saadallah in Forbury Gardens on 20 June 2020.
Mr Furlong met home secretary Yvette Cooper and Home Office minister Dan Jarvis earlier this year and said the government was aware the men’s families were “really not happy” with progress.
A spokesperson for Cooper said she remains “determined to ensure that all the lessons learned from this terrible incident are acted on.”
Mr Furlong, from Liverpool, said he was “still chasing” details about how planned changes to the government’s anti-extremism Prevent programme had improved it.
