The family of murdered teenage Laura Wilson are calling for a new national inquiry into sex abuse gangs after criticizing the authorities for failing to protect her from exploitation.
Laura Wilson, 17, was repeatedly stabbed and left to die in a canal by an abuser after council workers failed to act on reports she was being exploited by older Asian men. An inquiry held after her murder by Ashtiaq Ashgar, who could soon be eligible for parole, criticised officials at Rotherham Council after hearing how she was preyed upon by gangs in the town from the age of just 11.
Laura was killed just days after she revealed to families of some of her abusers how she had been in sexual relationships with them - including having a daughter by an older man who was described as a 'mentor' to her murderer. British-born Ashgar came from a traditional Muslim family who were planning an arranged marriage for their son with someone from Pakistan and he made Laura keep their relationship a secret. Now her elder sister Sarah Wilson, 33, has backed calls for a new national inquiry into sex abuse gangs, following on from concerns raised by X owner Elon Musk. She spoke out after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faced criticism for suggesting those raising the alarm were 'amplifying' the 'far right'. Sarah, another victim of grooming abuse herself, posted on X, formerly Twitter that anyone involved in cover-ups should be punished and stripped of pensions - while also declaring: 'Our justice system stinks'
