MP David Amess' daughter demands answers over his murder

The daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess has said the government's anti-radicalisation scheme Prevent failed her father "catastrophically" and suggests her family were misled over the inquest into his killing.

In an interview with ITV News, Katie Amess hit out at the fact her father's killer was known to authorities seven years before the murder but was not followed up on properly after he was reported to Prevent.

She told of her family's anger of being denied answers by officials as she urged for an inquest to be re-opened to investigate why killer Ali Harbi Ali wasn't assessed by authorities.

"I just think that there's no accountability and nobody wants to be held responsible," she told Political Editor Robert Peston.
