The Probation Service was found by a coroner to have contributed to the deaths of Terri Harris, John Paul Bennett, Lacey Bennett and Connie Gent.
The families of the victims of Damien Bendall have said the “litany” of failures by the Probation Service that contributed to the murders of their loved ones “must never happen again”.
Speaking outside the court on Monday, Oliver Carter, representing Jason Bennett – father of John Paul and Lacey – and Connie’s mother, Kerry Shelton, said the children were “kind and caring” and had been selling sweets to raise money for charity on the day they were killed. “They’re adamant that decisive action now needs to be taken to address the issues identified during the course of the inquest.
“The organisations that could have protected the families need to accept the inquest’s findings and take meaningful and lasting steps to reduce the risk of a similar incident happening again.” Peter Nieto, the senior coroner for Derby and Derbyshire, highlighted multiple systemic failings within the Probation Service over issues including supervision, training and auditing, which accepted 51 individual failings.
“The Probation Service has continuously failed to do enough to protect women and children like Terri and our grandchildren.
