One of the killers was “mistakenly freed from jail with only low-level supervision, after documents revealing his true danger to the public were not shared by officials. A string of opportunities to return Sonnex to jail for new crimes – and keep him there – were then either squandered or missed. When an arrest warrant was finally issued by probation staff to recall him to prison, it inexplicably took police a further 16 days to knock on Sonnex’s door. By that time, Mr Bonomo and Mr Ferez were dead – killed earlier that same day.” British Justice Secretary Jack Straw has conveyed his regrets for his organization’s catastrophic incompetence to the victim’s parents, a fact that is described as unprecedented.
