The $30 million inquiry's stark findings
The statutory public inquiry into the Nottingham attack has concluded after months of evidence and 164 witness testimonies, with the final report due to be released next year.
Emma Webber, mother of Barnaby Webber, 19, said her son's killer was not stopped in part due to the 'fear' of being accused of 'stigma and bias' towards the knifeman.
The inquiry has now concluded after months of evidence and 164 witness testimonies, and the final report is due to be released next year.
An echo of Sydney's 2024 institutional buy-up
Emma Webber believes the systemic failings in the Notttingham case have clear parallels to the murder of Henry Nowak, a case that has led to claims of 'two-tiered policing' in the UK.
She said: 'The fear of stigma and bias was placed above safety and duty.'
She added: 'For months we've sat through the statutory public inquiry and watched the evidence unfold. It has been brutal, bruising and harrowing beyond measure, but it was so very necessary.'
Who is the unnamed buyer?
Valdo Calocane has been handed an indefinite hospital order for the killing spree .
Mrs Webber says in his case: 'The fear of stigma and bias was placed above safety and duty.'
She added: 'For months we've sat through the statutory public inquiry and watched the evidence unfold.. it has been brutal, bruising and harrowing beyond measure, but it was so very necessary.'
What auditors flagged in the May filing
The findings will be published next year.
Dr Sanjoy Kumar, father of Ms O'Malley-Kumar, said: 'The important thing is that this is not an end of any sort for us. This is very much, I think, the beginning of accountability.'
He added: 'If you don't find people accountable,you will never change your system. systems are made out of people, and it's really important to find the people who simply just didn't do their jobs accountable.'
A familiar pattern from the 2019 crash
Speaking after the inquiry into the attacks heard from its final witness on Friday , she said there were 'absolutely' parallels between her son's death and 18-year-old Mr Nowak, who was handcuffed by police officers who ignored his pleas that he had been stabbed as he lay dying.
Mrs Webber said: 'That's one of many, if we start to delve into our agencies and systems in this country a little bit deeper, it's replicated in every city, in every part of the UK.'
