UK: Father of Reading terror attack victim speaks to the media
UK - April 26, 2024
The father of a Reading terror attack victim said the families are trusting the judge to make recommendations at the inquest conclusion that will "keep us all safer and to prevent other families from facing the pain, heartbreak and loss that we must live with every day".
Gary Furlong, the father of James Furlong, said outside the Old Bailey on Friday morning: "It is now almost four years since our boys, James, Joseph and David were taken from us in the murderous terror attack by Khairi Saadallah in Forbury Gardens.
"We waited patiently while the criminal trial and appeal by Saadallah ran their course. We have listened to six weeks of evidence at the inquest into our boys' deaths.
"Now, finally, today is the day we have waited for since June 2020. Today we are trusting the judge coroner to give us answers about the deaths of James, Joseph and David.
"Most of all, we are trusting him to make recommendations that will keep us all safer and to prevent other families from facing the pain, heartbreak and loss that we must live with every day."
