Katie Amess told the PA news agency that she first saw the review of how Ali Harbi Ali was dealt with under the government counter-extremism scheme Prevent in March last year, but was not legally allowed to speak about it publicly.
Sir David’s family and former MP Anna Firth are calling for a public inquiry into the handling of the case, including how police and local authority staff were unable to see Ali had been radicalised into an Islamist extremist.
After a similar report relating to Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was released last week, the Government agreed to publish the Prevent learning review relating to Ali’s case.
The daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess has said a counter-terrorism review linked to his killer is “a paper exercise” that “doesn’t mean anything”.
Ms Amess believes that the Southport murders of three young girls could have been prevented had there been an inquiry in the wake of Sir David’s death in 2021.
