(ITV) The family of a murdered MP said they are still hoping for answers four years after his killing.
Southend West MP Sir David Amess, 69, was stabbed to death in his constituency by Ali Harbi Ali on 15 October 2021 while hosting a surgery at a church.
Killer Ali Harbi Ali had been referred to the government’s counter-terror programme Prevent seven years earlier but was met just once.
He was found guilty of Sir David’s murder after just 18 minutes of deliberation at the Old Bailey, and was handed a whole-life prison term in 2022.
Sir David’s daughter, Katie Amess, 40, said: “As we mark four years since my father was so brutally taken from us, my family and I are still without answers as to how his killer was ever allowed to wreak such havoc when he was known to the Prevent and counter-terrorism authorities.”
