A man with a history of violence was able to sexually assault and murder a law graduate after mistakes were made by probation staff, a report has found.

Ms Naz described the report as "extremely distressing", adding her family had "lost a loved member... for absolutely nothing".Speaking to BBC News, she added McSweeney had been given a licence to go ahead and "do whatever he wanted and he knew that because this is a system he knows".

The prolific thief, from Dagenham in east London, was described in court as a "damaged person" who had experienced a troubled childhood during which domestic violence was the "norm". He was taken into care and expelled from school; he sold drugs and took part in bare-knuckle fights for money. Information about some of McSweeney's violent behaviour, including the details of a restraining order taken out against him in 2021, was not part of his probation assessment, the report found. Where he was going to stay was not known at the point of his release, and he was not monitored with an electronic tag.
