Reading park attack: Agency failures contributed to deaths - coroner - BBC News | |

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. | |
