Significant failings in sharing intelligence contributed to the deaths of three friends in a terrorist attack in park in Reading, a coroner has ruled.
Counterterrorism police made “incorrect and misconceived assessments” which allowed Khairi Saadallah, a Libyan asylum-seeker, to launch the attack in Forbury Gardens during a brief relaxation in Covid-19 rules in June 2020.
Saadallah, who had been in and out of prison for violent offences, had been released from his latest sentence 15 days earlier but should have been recalled the previous day when his brother called police, the coroner said.
James Furlong, 36, a history teacher, Joseph Ritchie-Bennett, 39, a pharmaceuticals manager and David Wails, 49, a scientist, were killed and three others injured during the attack.
