The family of Zara Aleena have said the government has “blood on [its] hands” after a report found that probation officers failed to treat her murderer as a high-risk offender when he should have been.
Jordan McSweeney was described as a “danger to any woman” when he was sentenced last year for the murder of Zara Aleena.
Aleena died from multiple injuries after she was kicked and stamped on by McSweeney, who also admitted to sexually assaulting the 35-year-old as she walked home from a night out last summer., prosecutor Oliver Glasgow KC told the court McSweeney launched an attack that was “with a savagery that is almost impossible to believe”, and was seen laughing and joking with friends after the murder.
“The defendant saw, decided to follow her and was determined to assault her. He approached her from behind, grabbed her around the neck and dragged her into a driveway. “Finally, once satisfied that she would no longer be able to report him for what he had done, he walked away, taking her mobile telephone with him which he threw over a garden wall, thus ensuring that neither she nor anyone else who might find her could use the phone to call for help.
“Women should not have to change their behaviour and should be able to go about their business, feeling safe, any time of day or night” Sam Tarry, the Labour MP for Ilford South, added that the local community would be left shaken following Aleena’s killing.
