A Somerset MP has written to the Prime Minister demanding action over the deaths of three people.
Gideon Amos, the Liberal Democrat MP for Taunton and Wellington, called on Sir Keir Starmer to address unresolved questions as the public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks draws to an end.
The attacks, which occurred in June 2023, claimed the lives of his constituent Barnaby Webber, along with Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.
Mr Amos pressed the Prime Minister on apparent failures across multiple public bodies and the need for systemic reforms.
In the letter, the MP said: "We need to get to the bottom of all these issues."
"Now that the inquiry is concluding proper sanctions must be imposed on all those complicit in these failures, and the families and the public deserve to know what actions will be taken, so that ensures this never happens again, so that no one else is put through what the families of the victims have been put through and so that Barnaby, Grace and Ian are cherished and remembered always."
Mr Amos questioned the handling of police evidence, the sharing of victims’ medical records, and the failure to arrest the perpetrator despite a warrant issued nine months before the attack.
He also raised concerns about patient discharge procedures for violent individuals and gaps in the psychiatric evidence presented in court.
He asked the Prime Minister to hold the Crown Prosecution Service to account over why a report from detective Neil Beddoe - stating the offender was "capable of complex rational thought" - was filed in a way that obscured key information about mental capacity.
The MP also urged safeguards to prevent "repulsive voyeurism," a term which families used to refer to NHS staff who inappropriately accessed and shared victims’ medical records.
Mr Amos called for assurances that mentally ill patients with a history of violence are not discharged without proper risk assessment and face-to-face evaluations.
He also questioned whether the original court decision, based on psychiatric evidence later found to be incomplete, should be reviewed.
Other concerns included improving communication and support for victims’ families, particularly regarding decisions about an offender’s detention, leave, or discharge.
