The parents of two French students murdered by an offender under probation supervision began a claim yesterday for “substantial damages” against the police and Ministry of Justice.
The families are seeking compensation over systematic failures and negligence in the justice system that contributed to the deaths of their sons, Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez.
The men were tied up in their flat in New Cross, southeast London, tortured and stabbed 244 times in what prosecutors said was an “orgy of blood-letting”. Their bodies were found after an explosion sparked by the murderers set fire to the premises.
Dano Sonnex, 23, from Peckham, southeast London, and Nigel Farmer, 34, of no fixed address, were jailed for life earlier this year for the murders.
It's a difficult one to call this. It might set a dangerous precedent.
What would possess people to do that thing though?

ReplyDeleteI remember this horrific crime and understand the parents perfectly.However, all the money in the world will not bring back what they wish for the most. Their sons.
