Failures "across multiple agencies" contributed to the murder of Zara Aleena, who was killed as she walked home from a night out in London in 2022, an inquest jury has found. Jordan McSweeney killed Ms Aleena, a 35-year-old law graduate, as she walked home from a night out in Ilford, east London, in the early hours of June 26 2022.

" On Wednesday, the court was played a video montage of pictures and videos from throughout Ms Aleena's life. McSweeney was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 38 years at the Old Bailey in December 2022 after admitting Ms Aleena's murder and sexual assault. In November 2023, McSweeney won a Court of Appeal bid to reduce the minimum term of his life sentence.
