today, as he ended the london bridge inquests, the chief coroner said the system for assessing the bridgeestminster attack had proved wanting. the inquest heard that one of the killers, khurum butt, had been identified by mi5 two years earlier as someone who might attack the uk. even his own brother—in—law had warned counterterrorism police about him and there had been bureaucratic errors. but the coroner was not convinced that mi5 had missed a chance to prevent the attack. the father of alexandre pigeard and other bereaved families disagree. we are now aware that there were a lot of missed opportunities to neutralise at least one of the attackers who was known as very dangerous. so i think this attack could have been preventable. he then embraced the off—duty nurse, helen kennett, who tried to save his son and was herself stabbed in the neck. and i want to thank so much helen for her courage. the police conceded they had made some errors with khurum butt. we know certain things could have been done differently, but after careful consideration, the chief coroner has found that the pre—att
