Murder warnings missed

Agencies missed chances to help a woman with a history of mental health problems who said she was going to harm someone before stabbing a 13-year-old girl to death.

Hannah Bonser was jailed for at least 22 years for murdering Casey Kearney in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on Valentine's Day. Casey was going to a friend's house when Bonser – a stranger with a personality disorder – stabbed her with a kitchen knife.
