Failings by state agencies contributed to the deaths of two graduates who were killed at a prisoner rehabilitation event, a jury has found.

Saskia Jones, 23, and Jack Merritt, 25, were both stabbed to death by Usman Khan at Fishmongers' Hall in November 2019.

Convicted terrorist Khan had been released from prison 11 months previously, the inquests heard.

The jury concluded that both victims had been unlawfully killed.

Jurors found there had been unacceptable management and a lack of accountability in the oversight of Khan.

Deficiencies in the organisation of the event at Fishmongers' Hall, including a lack of security measures, were also found to have been factors in the two deaths.

Some accountability, rare but welcome.
