'He told the police he was going to murder Matthew.' The heartbroken family of a father-of-three who was killed by his neighbour following years of threats and abuse have slammed the police for their 'toothless' response.
The heartbroken family of a father-of-three who was murdered by his neighbour following years of threats and abuse have slammed the police for their "toothless and ineffective" response.Father-of-three Matthew Boorman, 43, was stabbed 27 times by Can Arslan, 52, on the victim’s front lawn in the Gloucestershire village of Walton Cardiff near Tewkesbury on October 5 last year.
Mr Boorman's family have criticised the police and authorities for their "toothless and ineffective" response to the danger Arslan posed, following multiple threats they had reported.The police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct , has confirmed it is investigating Gloucestershire Police's actions.
She said they were worried about being murdered, or that someone was going to be seriously hurt very soon. "We will never be the same without him, but as we move forward and learn how to cope without him, we fight in his name to expose not only the malice and cruelty of the man that did this, but also the failings in the system that let this happen," she said.
"The response was toothless and ineffective, even when the defendant himself told the police he was going to murder Matthew."Matthew was not this man's only victim on that dreadful evening, but he was the only one with the misfortune to pay the high price of his life.
