December 20, 2005: Investigation into John Monckton's Murder
Home Secretary
Charles Clarke has announced an investigation by the Chief Inspector Of
Probation into the events surrounding the murder of John Monckton.
Probation Union
Napo had earlier called for an
independent investigation into the circumstances
surrounding the murder, including the reasons for parole decisions and all
supervision plans. Mr Clarke stated:
'The tragic death of John Monckton raises a number of
serious questions about the release from prison and supervision in the
community of Damien Hanson and Elliott White. I have therefore asked
Her Majesty’s
Chief Inspector of Probation, Andrew Bridges, to conduct an urgent
investigation into these matters."
'It is essential that we have in place systems to deal with violent offenders
which are as rigorous as possible and minimise the risk to the public that
such offenders may pose."
'Mr Bridges will look carefully at what happened in this case, and whether
there are wider implications for the release and management of offenders, in
particular the case management and risk assessment of Hanson and White. I
expect him to report back to me early next year with clear recommendations and
lessons from this case.'
