The mother of Barnaby Webber has demanded a meeting with the Prime Minister.
As the press conference drew to a close, Emma Webber told reporters: “I do think it’s time now that we get the opportunity to meet with the Prime Minister.”
The mother of Barnaby Webber said evidence of failures in dealing with her son’s killer would have been “brushed under the carpet” had it not been for campaigning by the victims’ families.
Ms Webber told reporters: “None of us should be here today. Anything and everything that could go wrong did.
“Barnaby, Ian and Grace would be here today if those concerned across these agencies had just done their job properly.”
Mrs Webber said the indefinite hospital order handed to Valdo Calocane represented an “enormous miscarriage of justice”.
“He knew what he was doing,” she said. “He serves no punishment for his crimes.”
Concluding her statement at the press conference, Ms Webber said: “To the Prime Minister, and the rest of the Government, make this trauma stop and make our fight stop.
“You have confirmed there will be a public inquiry, but agree the terms that we’ve been pleading for, make it statutory so all of the agencies, organisations, institutions and, vitally, individuals must … and will be compelled to attend, give evidence and tell the truth.
“Do the right thing. We are and we won’t stop until that happens.”
