The family of a former Wasps rugby player is calling for an inquiry into why a schizophrenic was free to kill just months after he was arrested for carrying a knife.
Allan Isichei, 69, was stabbed to death by Gurjeet Lall, 36, on his way home from his local pub yards from the home he shared with his wife, Sandra, 73, in Southall, west London, on August 24 last year.
The father-of-three, who has five grandchildren, was a prop for Wasps during the 1970s and 1980s, and played nearly 200 games for the club’s first XV.
