Katie Amess, the daughter of the murdered Conservative MP Sir David Amess, has called for answers and an investigation into police actions surrounding her father's death.

She spoke on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, raising concerns about inadequate protection and highlighting a reported threat made the night before the attack, which occurred during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15, 2021.

Sir David was killed by Ali Harbi Ali, who is serving a life sentence.

Despite an immediate investigation following the threat, the police did not provide security at the surgery, which Katie argues could have prevented the murder.

She also questions why no inquest has been held, criticizing the decision by Essex Senior Coroner Lincoln Brookes.

The Home Office and Essex Police cite ongoing legal proceedings and defend their actions, noting efforts to review security for MPs.

Katie's efforts for a civil claim are stalled due to cost, leaving her without access to answers she seeks.

She remembers her father as a passionate public servant who loved helping people.

The case underscores broader concerns regarding MP safety and the effectiveness of counter-terrorism measures like Prevent.
