3:07Now PlayingThe daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess says the family are heartbroken after the home secretary rejected calls for a public inquiry into his death.
Katie Amess told a news conference: "This decision is an absolute insult and a betrayal to my family and our father's memory.
"How can the government justify holding inquiries for other tragic events like Southport and Nottingham, yet they refuse to investigate the very system that failed my father."
Sir David was killed at a constituency surgery in Southend-on-Sea in 2021 by Ali Harbi Ali, who had been referred to anti-terrorism programme Prevent seven years earlier, but his case had been closed in 2016.
