David Amess's Family Demands Full Inquest into Prevent Failures

Katie Amess calls for transparency on police meeting details to understand why the anti-radicalisation program failed to prevent her father's murder.

Sir David Amess was murdered by Ali Harbi Ali in October 2021 during a constituency meeting in Essex.
Katie Amess, the late MP's daughter, criticizes the Prevent program for failing to identify the threat posed by Ali despite a 2014 referral.
The family insists on a full inquest, believing it is necessary to uncover potential systemic issues within the Prevent program.
Coroner Lincoln Brookes declined to resume the inquest after Ali's conviction, citing insufficient evidence linking Prevent's failures directly to the murder.
The Amess family seeks access to the minutes of a 2022 meeting between the coroner and counter-terrorism officers to gain insights into what was known about Ali's activities.
