Reading terror stabbings inquest due to conclude - BBC News Reading park attack: Agency failures contributed to deaths - coroner - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
Judge Coroner Sir Adrian Fulford has concluded the deaths of Mr Wails, Mr Furlong and Mr Ritchie-Bennett were "avoidable". Nikki Mitchell
Addressing the court, Sir Adrian spoke of Saadallah's "volatility" and "terrorist mindset". Home Affairs Correspondent, BBC South
He said: "It is my view that these three deaths were avoidable." With regards to Saadallah's mental health, Sir Adrian concluded there should have been greater focus on the risk he posed to the public.
Saadallah was repeatedly categorised as "low risk", an approach which "failed to take into account his volatility".
Sir Adrian said Saadallah "should have been recognised as a high-risk patient in danger of causing serious harm".
He added there was a "lack of long-term [mental health] therapy which could have reduced the risk he posed".
In prison Saadallah had "no chance of receiving the psychological help" he needed, to "break the cycle of offending", Sir Adrian found.
He concluded there should have been at least the possibility of therapy starting in prison.
As the killer moved between the community and prison, there was a "tendency to close his case" by each agency dealing with him when he moved on.
