A woman was brutally attacked in her own home after her abusive ex-partner evaded custody and breached his restraining order. after being beaten by William Smart, despite the fact he was on recall for breaching his licence conditions.
Ms Devonish, who has released a report to prevent future deaths, raised concerns that the correct staff were not made aware of Smart's restraining order. In the document, addressed to HMP Altcourse, Ministry of Justice and HM Prison and Probation Service, the coroner highlighted areas that could be addressed to prevent similar deaths taking place.
Coroner Devonish heard how Smart had initially been released from HMP Altcourse on April 3, with orders to contact the local community rehabilitation team. When he failed to present himself to authorities, the National Offender Management Service was notified and the police were informed. However, due to a lack of resources, no patrol was deployed to bring Smart into custody.
Following the inquest, a spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "Our thoughts are with Angela's family at this time. We recognise the finding of the coroner’s court and will review their findings for any further learning.
