\n

A “problematic” assessment of MP Sir David Amess’s killer led to “questionable decision-making” and the “suboptimal” handling of his Prevent case, a review has found.<\/p>\n

Sir David was stabbed to death<\/a><\/strong> by Islamic State (ISIS) supporter Ali Harbi Ali during a constituency surgery at a church hall in Leigh-on-Sea in October 2021.<\/p>\n

The killer, who was given a whole-life sentence in 2022, had become radicalised by ISIS propaganda and had been referred to the anti-terror programme Prevent twice before the attack, but his case had been closed.<\/p>\n

Failures in dealing with his case led to it being “exited” too soon, security minister Dan Jarvis told the House of Commons on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Following the publication of a review into Prevent’s handling of Southport child killer Axel Rudakubana<\/a><\/strong> earlier this month, Mr Jarvis said a Prevent learning review into Sir David’s killing would be released this week in a commitment to transparency over the anti-terror programme.<\/p>\n

Is the Prevent programme fit for purpose?<\/span>

Sir David’s daughter, Katie Amess, 39, welcomed the announcement but said every victim failed by Prevent deserves an inquiry, not just the Southport victims.<\/p>\n

“We potentially wouldn’t be in the same situation today with repeat failings of Prevent had somebody had just listened to me back when it [her father’s killing] happened and launched a full public inquiry,” she told LBC.<\/p>\n

Ms Amess said she believes if the Southport attack had not happened, the review into Prevent’s handling of her father’s killer would never have been released into the public domain.<\/p>\n
