Zara Aleena’s aunt Farah Naz called for 'action and accountability' after a watchdog revealed 'a litany of errors' within the Probation Service in the lead up to her niece's death. For more:
0:22The aunt of murder victim Zara Aleena has said probation officers have"blood on their hands" following a damning report which revealed failings in the way her niece's killer was monitored after being released from prison just days before she died.
Justice Secretary Dominic Raab ordered a review of how probation staff had supervised McSweeney when it emerged he had been freed from prison on licence - where individuals are released from jail but still have a part of their sentence to serve in the community - nine days before the murder. In the nine days before the murder, McSweeney's licence had been revoked after he failed to attend any meetings with probation officers, but he had not been recalled to prison.
She was a"good human being... very active in the local community... loved by all of us dearly, funny, clever, beautiful and a real lover of life", Ms Naz said.
