BBC News

In 2010, Andrew Dawson, then 48, killed his neighbours Paul Hancock, 58, and John David Matthews, 66, in their flats in Derby, an inquest heard.However, Derbyshire area coroner Peter Nieto said the concerns raised did not contribute to their deaths.An inquest at Chesterfield Coroner's Court heard Dawson was jailed for killing a 91-year-old man in Ormskirk, Lancashire, in 1982 and was released on life licence in 1999.

Dawson was moved from a probation hostel to supported accommodation before ending up in private residences. The coroner's court heard the Probation Service did consider returning Dawson to prison but due to the low level of the offence, on balance, they decided not to.The inquest heard how Mr Matthews, known as Dave, was found dead in his Waterford Drive flat on 25 July 2010, having suffered 18 stab wounds.A serious case review later found the decision not to recall Dawson to prison after the assault to be "borderline".
