A coroner found Ms Croucher had been abducted and killed by Neil Maxwell, who took his own life two months after her disappearance.
A coroner has called for a 'fundamental review' of the process for monitoring sex offenders in the community following the murder of 19-year-old Leah Croucher. Senior coroner Tom Osborne found Ms Croucher, who disappeared while walking to work on 15 February 2019, had been abducted and killed by Neil Maxwell following an inquest in June. Ms Croucher - a black belt in taekwondo - may have tried to defend herself from a sex attack before she was killed, the inquest heard.
'Despite that supervision he was in breach of the terms of his probation and was able to kill Leah when it was known that he was a predator and danger to females. 'There should be a fundamental review of the process for monitoring sex offenders in the community and the sharing of information between all agencies particularly the police and probation service to ensure that a similar death can be prevented.
