A convicted terrorist’s “poster boy image” blinded authorities to the threat before he launched an attack on Fishmongers’ Hall, killing two young people, an inquest jury has concluded.
A catalogue of failures and omissions contributed to the deaths of Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, at the hands of Usman Khan, the jury found on Friday.
Afterwards, Mr Merritt’s father Dave Merritt said the arrangements for managing Khan following his release from prison were “not fit for purpose”.
He also described MI5 and West Midlands Counter-Terrorism Police as “complacent and passive in the face of Khan’s extreme and continuing threat”.
